Deltaray did a fine job in covering GNU/Linux aka Linux, here.

Thank you Deltaray, for this concise coverage of Linux. You spoke very well.

Agree

Should be a link on every distros desktop page.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. I'm glad this landed well as I was a bit uncertain about it. Also, thank you to Sigflup for proof-listening to it. If you're serious about having this linked to from other places then maybe we just need to post it to some forums, Reddit, FB, etc.

Good talk CliMagic

Nice hearing your voice for the first time CliMagic! I love Linux too and I’m liking a lot many tools that help you fix stuff like codex, gemini-cli and Claude code. They integrate very well and are awesome way to learn new commands. This year I’ve learned about aseqdump, ss, iw, loginctl and wowlan magic-packet wakeonlan.

Re: Good talk CliMagic

Hello Morhook,

Quite a variety of subjects that would sound great on a recording or 3.

Cheers,
Archer72
