From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
Yeah, came to the comments to say exactly this! The writer has an RSS feed as well - added to my reader!! 😃 cheers, op - what a find!
A very nice, simple webpage too.
I opened it and was immediately taken aback at how refreshing it feels to open a page that is entirely (mostly) just HTML/CSS.
Then i'm sure you'll like this: https://no-js.club/members/ There's also no css and no html clubs. Last but not least, take a look at gemini protocol, which is a bit like gopher: lightweight and textbased only
