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.

Is there a way to connect multiple desktops and treat them as one system? (slrpnk.net)

I have some desktops (the tower kind) lying around and I'm wondering if there's a way that I can connect them all to one display and combine their computational power or at least make them all accessible in one place. I want to get into server hosting but only have one monitor. They're currently running LMDE.

Any ideas?

Now software bloat has caught up to the gains we've made in hardware and we're back to it taking 15 seconds to load a word processor.

Bloody got a new Windows 11 lenovo something today. It's so slow to just open settings up.

I know the Windows vs Linux thing is like beating a dead horse, but I use both, and the Linux machine never gets slow like Windows does. Windows does so much crap in the background that you and I don't need want or care about, and Linux just does what it's told when it's told. Give it a try if you're feeling adventurous.

Yeah, I'm in the planning stage of buying a new personal desktop that I'm going to run Linux on from the get go, I'm just tired of Windows.

Once I'm a little more financial I'm going to pull the trigger and build my next gaming pc
