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.

In the month or so it's been on my laptop, it's been stable as in reliable but it's definitely not stable in the more traditional sense - unchanging.
Fair. With the amount of updates you should have received in a month, how could it be unchanged? In a "ship of Theseus" sense, is it at all the same as when you installed it? 🧐
Yeah, it's definitely like Trigger's Broom
