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.

Can we promote our products somewhere besides Amazon? One more friendly to regular producers?

I'm sorry, but what are you referring to?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The YT channel. Apologies, I know people aren't psychic.

Oh okay, are you referring to the Amazon link in the description? That link is a generic affiliate link that just redirects to "laptop" but gives him a comission when someone buys something on Amazon after, it's not a specific product he sells on there.

I'd prefer we not give Amazon money. I'm asking if there's a better place, for either?

Well he did say it wasn't a good website. You really think they're just going to take the criticism?

Only because he had no windows

I guess Microsoft is stepping up their campaign against OSS.

/s I know it's a bad joke. MS contributes a lot to OSS. It would have worked better in the Ballmer era.
