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 first switched to ZorinOs then to Linux Mint. I ditched windows forever.

ZorinOS was using 3.2 GB of ram while Linux Mint cinnamon uses only 1.8 plus my computer doesn't sound like an airplane taking off anymore (it did on zorin and windows)..

I set up something called zapren to bypass government bans on several websites and apps already and I am loving it.
