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.

Aight. This conversation has been much appreciated, thanks fam!

Perhaps I might have to give ed a go at some point if I find myself hacking more with elisp rather than outputting actual productive work. But, at least for now, this is (thankfully) not really a concern for mine 😜.

As for Sam, I should either install a different OS (i.e. 9front) for the truely special experience. Or..., build it (myself) with plan9port. Did I get that right?

Well regarding plan9port, it is really, really easy to acquire... just clone the Github repo (https://github.com/9fans/plan9port), run ./INSTALL and everything else sorts itself out ;-)

Anyhow, I've learned so much from you and I really appreciate that. Again, wholeheartedly, thank you!

Wish ya a good one 😉!
