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.

Ugh I can't wrap my mind around how weird and unintuitive GIMP feels to use

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

damn I have been using this damn program for... decades?

I have been yelling at it in frustration for equally as long... but seriously in terms of raw, no bullshit, consistent utility to people, GIMP deserves an immense amount of credit.

I never thought I'd witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

The third one is almost impossible. Ask Valve.

Hold your horses. An RC is not a release. I don't trust it.

You might still not. Make sure to look both ways when crossing the road.

fyi at least in the US you are only legally allowed to make death threats (or carry them out for that matter) if you are actively driving a motor vehicle at the time, please for your own safety if you are going to murder someone or threaten to murder them, do it behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or you could end up in serious trouble with the law!

Careful. You might get hit by a bus.
