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.

I don't know if and how crossposting functions in kbin/lemmy, so hopefully it'll work that way

Sorry I have no idea. It's been ages since I last bought a mainboard and that one was recommended in a computer magazine... I'd google it. See if other people have issues with it. And I't trust blogs, Reddit and forums more than the traditional compatibility charts.

Alright, no worries! You invested so much time and effort trying to help me out, I can‘t thank you enough for that, really really appreciate it much!

Hehe, no worries. I think the community needs to stick together. I used to do (voluntary) computer support once a week at university before I moved, now I occasionally do it here. It's always nice being able to help people ...Or in your case at least trying... To me, it's way more fun than discussing politics or the latest news, anyways. And I mean I'm no exception. I also sometimes need support, ask questions about a new distro or get my itches scratched by people who solve my issues on Github.

Maybe one day I‘ll be here asking dumb questions again, watch out 😁
