I see people talking about doas saying it's just like sudo but with less features. I'm just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it's just personal preference.

24 kibibytes. I dislike the annoying difference between kiB and kB, etc, etc as I also think in kB and MB as the binary values because that's how I was taught for many years.

Again. If you're not being accurate then theres no point jn being precise

You're replying to the wrong person. I added some info over the difference between your comment and someone else's acktually comment.

I don't care either way; an approximation in MiB and MB is the same difference to me. The other person and yourself have got into a debate about nothing in my opinion.

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.
