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.

Brendan Howell's The Screenless Office is "a system for working with media and networks without using a pixel-based display. It is an artistic operating system."

You can "read and navigate news, web sites and social media entirely with the use of various printers for output and a barcode scanner for input".

That's funny you share this, a friend just sent it to me yesterday.

This is an interesting way to receive data but I wish there was a way to do the reserve. Take handwritten/handled input into a computer. I asked this question the other day if I could somehow input my handwritten notes into programs like Trilium (or logseq whatever) and memos. OCR/HCR seems to far behind still so I am unsure. That would certainly be a cool method!

not so "funny" when you consider that the 3rd episode is released 2 days ago

What?? The link Arthur sent is not in that third video. What does your comment even mean?
