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 always enjoyed NixOS, but then I got some CRAZY hardware issues. Like my monitor wouldn't turn on crazy even though it'd be working fine for a while.
That sounds more like a kernel issue than a distro issue. Were you on regular linux or linux_latest?
Regular. Yeah I've NEVER hit anything like that before. My only guess is something in one of the kernel patches ran into my hardware and my hardware nope'd out.
WindowMaker and Chicago95, what a nice aesthetic you have going!

The retro look :D
Haha, I'm just used to it, been using WindowMaker since 1999 I think (Red Hat Linux 5.2 Apollo was my first distro).
Based
Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,...you're all making me feel like a basic removed.
Super surprised to see the number of void linux here in this platform
Well, it is a pretty great distro, so I'm glad to see it catching on.
Does this count
all fetches are valid
What are you using to generate that?
neofetch is the programs name
It's a terminal program called neofetch. Some of the other screenshots use a similar program called pfetch.

Ultralight hardware.
Ok here's my desktop, might add laptop later.
I love your zsh theme, what is it?
Here is mine, using pfetch :)
ur serious right?
fetch commands refer to commands use to display system info (usually in a flexing manner)
neofetch should be avaliable in most package repos for download
No, I'm not being serious. Just a joke.
