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.

My favorite system message is GRUB's "bailing out, you're on your own. Good luck"

Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

This is the most confusing and awesome message I've ever had.

OP is not in the sudoers file.

This incident will be reported.

This was scary to me as a young guy learning Linux 30 years ago. Turns out it's not reporting to anyone. :)

It in fact is reportet to the system admin. In that case you.

It's in a journalctl log (i think location is depending on distro)
