Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.

Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.

It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.

What a lovely journey 🤍

    Same, does it work? If it means booting into a DE and being able to move your mouse and type on your keyboard, sure most distros can do that.

    It’s those little gotchas everywhere that gets you. Enabling video acceleration on Nvidia in firefox? Getting LDAC to work on Bluetooth? Etc. etc.

    Do most distros work? Yeah, only if you don’t mind software encoding, or compiling from some user-provided repos.

    I have a few hobby boxes running all flavours of distros, but whenever I need something to just work with no caveats, I go back to w11.
