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.

lol the pdf digital signature thing is just hilarious... sometimes searching for a solution really can throw you off a totally wrong trajectory (although the pdf reader's error message was part of the problem).
Overall I think this does good for Linux. The reasonable part-time gamers will see themselves more in Luke and thus Linux in a positive light, while the toxic Windows gamers can stay there ;)
I think its insane the whole world uses non-cryptographic signatures for everything.
Even these tech-enthusiasts don't know anything about cryptography 🤦♂️
