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.

Not gonna lie, the fact that I can see all these neofetch images in the comment section has me sold on Lemmy over Reddit.

It is! I mainly posted this to spread the word, SourceMage can always use more users :) We've actually been around almost as long as Gentoo!

This is my dualboot install on my old laptop that I used in high school. The trackpad is chipped, and I only use the Windows install for those pesky pieces of invasive proctoring software in use in my college courses. The Mint install, I primarily use for downloading stuff (Persepolis) and data recovery (Because Windows shits itself if you dare plug in a damaged drive).

neofetch is the programs name

[–] Ekis@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It's a terminal program called neofetch. Some of the other screenshots use a similar program called pfetch.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It's called neofetch

You can install it via pretty much any package manager.
