Linux

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.

Maybe HDR on linux? I'm fairly clueless about how it all works under the hood, but I'm currently on debian 12 and I'm hoping that by the time 13 comes around it will just work without me needing to do any manual system tweaks. As I understand it, it's currently semi-working or fully-working in KDE6, but I'm still on KDE5 until debian 13 comes out.

RISC-V

I want open-source hardware

Is there a good resource out there for wrapping my head around RISC-V? Last time I read a wiki my head hurt haha. Seems cool, though.

First thing that comes to mind is RISCV. Although it's not new, it is gaining traction in consumer computing

Care to elaborate?
