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.

Luckily not! Only shb or how its called.
shp? I’d recommend learning QGIS regardless, even if its ui looks like 💩
Good luck in your search!
Shapefiles or something, will work in QGIS. Yeah no way I am gonna use that proprietary cancer
Obligatory switch from shapefile link.
Unfortunately Shapefile is a proprietary format developed by ESRI. QGIS handles it just fine though no problems.
Urg... thanks! I will just have to send this to my Prof and see his reaction, weird Microsoft-Corporate-beard-lightblueshirt-dude
