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.

Thank you everyone for your insight, comments, and help with the process! I'm started with Fedora, and after some brief confusion between Gnome and Plasma, I'm off! :D

I thought the toe and heel pads were holes at first.

[–] Xistinas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Same. Thought, "Finally, one of my people."

Sick wallpaper and good distro taste.

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Not enough plaid skirt IMO

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Is this a fresh install and sitting at 10gb ram? Seems like a lot.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I had Discord, and AnvilToolkit running, along with update on a separate terminal :D

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

2.4k packages as well, or is that normal on fedora?

[–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

FC42 is on kernel 6.14.11 for stable, this rig is still on .0 for some reason.

Something is not right.

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That rams not gonna use itself.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My truenas server agrees.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Reppin argyle socks instead of the classic striped, hell yeah.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Had to borrow from my wife :D lol

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

You have been acquitted🤪

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't like it. But maybe that is just me.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

as a 43 year old balding man, yeah - I get that. I did it for the lolz

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The Linux socks thing was odd until you showed up, thanks bbg

It was a bold move cotton, and it paid off

Happy cake day homie, if I don't see your hairy ass legs and socks every week from now on, I'll cry

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Every week? Dang, I uh... I'm flattered! I'm just not sure that I can keep up with that type of commitment. 😅

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Revenue stream unlocked haha

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Only time will tell

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What did you do to get the nice terminal output with the colour display and fedora ASCII art? Just a copy+paste in bashrc?

[–] amda@feddit.nl 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks like neofetch, still gets a lot of use even if it's archived

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks!

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a blast from the past; it has to be 30 years since I played UO.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's free to play with that link! Outlands is like you remember, plus end game

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ultima Outlands is the way to go! Here's how to get it going: https://wiki.uooutlands.com/Install_UO_on_Linux

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Came here for the wallpaper, saved this reply for the link. I had considered running my own server a while back to be able to play again.

[–] 51dusty@lemmy.world 66 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 23 points 2 weeks ago

Have you met people? They're the worst.

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Lots of non-normative folk like Linux. Far as I know there was just a spree of posts showing btop and thigh highs and it went from there

[–] Fijxu@programming.dev 10 points 2 weeks ago

lol

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ultima Online! I stared at that art for days!

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's still one of my favorites!

[–] ree2@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Happy for you! Nice wallpaper btw!

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
