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.

Yeah it's a bit of a shit show for sure. Unfortunately I do not have anything else lined up right now, I know that's an unsafe decision. My life has been a mess lately I can only handle so much at once and finding different work is exhausting

If you're a software engineer, and you're in the unity Austin area, lmk. Assuming you would be open to writing b2b software, the company i work for is huge, and still hiring devs.

I appreciate this, I'm not in that area though. I also plan on migrating back into making games for my next job because I'm a slut for corporate abuse
