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've used Gimp for as long as I can remember, it's one of those tools I always have installed in my workstation. It's quirky, but I love it anyway.
Glad to see 3.0 released. Valve, are you paying attention? Those is how it's done.
Gimp 2.0 was released eight months before Half Life 2.
Imagine the chads at valve actually respond to the gimp 3 release by announcing HL3.
bonus points if they use gimp 3 to make the thumbnail
So you're telling me....
Half Life 3 confirmed!
8 more months until we got HL3!
I finished HL2 E2 a few weeks ago for the first time and I’m still waiting for the thrilling conclusion.
Ah shit, seriously? Congrats!
If you haven't already, you should really play half life Alyx now! It's an unforgettable experience in VR, so if you can hold out to play it in a headset you should!
If not though, there are mods out there to switch it to a standard flat-screen FPS. But I don't think the experience would be nearly as cool!
I currently have no VR headset of any kind but it sounds fun (from what I’ve heard).
Relevant xkcd
There’s always a relevant xkcd, lol
So you're implying we can expect Half-Life 3 for Christmas?
