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.

Y'all it takes like 15 seconds to boot from an SSD why are you leaving your computers on?
because I can KVM from one computer to another in under 1 second and I dont feel like adding 14 to that. Plus Folding@Home.
Those proteins and RNAs are now the domain of deep learning, thankyouverymuch! Pull the plug!
Because they're processing data all the time? They're doing work?
