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.

I just thought it was the easiest way to show relevant system information :p
totally irrelevant and irrespectfully hard to read for ppl volunteering to helpdesk you
What's so hard to read about that?
...
Huh, I guess must be something dependent on the client. On the web I can scroll horizontally in the code box instead:
Code blocks got updated in 0.19, lemmy.world is still on a 0.18 version
I get horizontal scroll even if I view the post on lemmy.world though
still not the point. Is it my own damn fault if I think it's stupid to pass this bolus of text? :D
I'm glad you can scroll horizontally, but the point I was making is that the action of posting that bolus of rubbish remains stupid 🤷🏼
oh, sorry about that, I didn't realize this could be bad for mobile users. All I needed was a command that could display all system info like distro name and version, kernel version, DE version, etc, I didn't necessarily need the distro logo and some other useless info in there.
no need to be sorry
the little effort involves taking the piss, just taking ourselves less seriously, we're only messing around online. And btw no info in neofetch is relevant :P
