    So much for the legendary hardware support of Linux!

    Edit: Forgot “/s”, but look at this lively discussion!

        You know there’s a whole hobby of keeping older hardware running, right?

          You know that you can use older versions of the Linux kernel, right?

            You know security vulnerabilities are a thing, right?

              I know what you mean, I’m so pissed that my 1978 Space Invaders arcade machine doesn’t even support WiFi-6.

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.
