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.

No offense taken, but I didn't use btrfs snapshots in a minute and spent 200 hours in the last 18 days working on my distro with a little less than adequate sleep due to my ADHD keeping me awake, thinking about what to implement next. Please cut me some slack haha
