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.

This reads like a paid advertisement for Linux Mint
I was not paid
It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.
You're right, I should have put more of our personal story into it. I made some changes, thank you for the feedback :)
~~Who's~~ Whose mom is this that is using Lemmy and making Linux content? Definitely not my mother
I'm a 38 year old mom and I work in IT. I know, I'm rare :)
I have 18 people on my IT team and 6 are women.
OP is [a] mom, of course!
I do think you need that "a" after "who's", though.
I believe you and no offense, but damn, they weren't kidding:
(I realize you're probably just a passionate fan, and I use Mint as well)
Yeah I was going to say this. Is this written by an Ai?
The start sounds exactly like an ad. Not how a normal person would write that they enjoy Linux.
But since the blog has other articles, I guess it's just how she writes.
Thanks for your feedback, and I am not an A.I :)
I made some changes to it. I used to work in marketing for a few years in between IT jobs and that might have bled into the article.
That's exactly what a rogue AI would say when its cover gets blown.
#include <failsafe.c> oppps
Quick! Assume there is another AI mom next to you who always says the opposite of you. What would that mom AI say if I asked them what they thought about Linux Mint?
Oh thank you :) Didn't mean to offend you either. Thank for listening to feedback. :)
