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.

Sorry to leave Zorin (piefed.social)

Just switched Zorin for Win11 on my kids computer (yes, it did hurt and still does 😭). His friends play Fortnite and he felt left out. Windows is the only option if he want to play?

Btw downloaded newest Microslop Windows 11, but still during installation there was a gust from the past; I had to use my other computer to download the wifi card driver, which I had to "select from disk" when installing 😂 in 2026!! (tplink ex3000). Worked flawless on Linux.

Maybe you should try to tell her Roblox is better as I managed to have it working on my Steam Dech through Sober and Vinegar.

We used to keep our Playstation 5 for this, but lately he only plays on the Steam Deck so I’m considering selling it.

Do not funnel children into the den of pedophiles.

No bad experience for now, but my kid can’t chat with people also.

Oh don't worry, the pedos will do their best to funnel them off platform.

Wouldn't pubg be a better choice in terms of game style?

[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 46 minutes ago

Oh maybe, it’s just that for me Roblox and Fortnite are the games my kids are playing and one of them can be played on Linux.

I don’t know about PUBG and I don’t know if it’s popular with kids/teens.
