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.

After buying a steam deck and seeing how good everything worked I just yeeted my entire bootdrive. Never looked back ever again (Then again I still own a surfacebook so it's not fully commiting)

Man, imagine using GRUB.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Its poorly the defacto standard on most common distros

What's the problem with GRUB and will it impact someone who sees the boot menu maybe three times a year at most?

Nothing is wrong with grub, I'm taking the piss by saying quippy things on a meme post.

Ah, gotcha. You weren't the only one to say this, so I thought there might be something more to it.
