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.

Hey I haven't heard of this.
So this is mint based on Debian directly instead of ubuntu?
That's correct they released it around the time so the Amazon stuff happened if I remember right. Since debian 12 has been so popular and with flatpak and distro box gaining popularity, there's been a big call for lmde to become the focus.
Thanks for the reply! Amazon stuff? I'm so out of the loop it seems.
Thanks for answering. That was after me first trying out Linux and before me returning to Linux.
That's some bullshit but damn does the Linux community hold grudges like they always have.
