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.

dmesg prints a large log that I cannot copy, the only red lines I read regard bluetooth, but the log is huge and I can only see a fraction of it.
I can cd to /var/log and ls it, what file do I have to open? or what do I do now?
@ceciline02 you can pipe dmesg into less I think. Dmesg | less and then use the forward slash to search but also you can use the up and down arrows to go up and down.
