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 tried tails but google still tracks me and its not for me since the police arent coming after me and the amensia and only being on usb is a bit annoying. i just thought there would be a lot more privacy

i tried qubes with whonix because it seemed interesting but still no privacy even on safest settings in tor (google still knows its me)

I've seen Markiplier a few times on the Invidious feeds btw. I think I got introduced to Markiplier by some Invidious instance actually
