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.

Which Linux distro would you say that fits me best? Do you think the LLM got it right? (reddthat.com)

You want something that just works out of the box.
Your focus is everyday tasks with some programming.
You prefer cutting-edge software, but the system itself can be stable.
You want a graphical installer and easy GUI management.
You like Cinnamon for a Windows-like UI.
You’re okay with either pre-installed software or minimal install.
You don’t mind if the distro itself has a smaller community as long as the parent distro is well-supported.

I'm not against the use of LLMs in principle, but their responses are for you only. As soon as it rolls out the door onto the open internet, it oxidizes to become slop. Prompt us with an original question, not stuff fresh out the back end of a LLM.
