@possiblylinux127 @TheOubliette Four years ago was certainly more peaceful than today.

It depends on how you measure it. That was the start of covid so people were dying

@possiblylinux127 Whether you measure it by the sheer number of conflicts, their average size, or the number of people dying as a result.

I might frame it as less embroiled in open war and extermination.

@TheOubliette i don’t think there is any way you can measure and/or frame it that my statement is not true.

To split hairs, saying “more peaceful” implies it was peaceful in the first place and even is now, just less so. I don’t think it was peaceful at either point. Which why I am framing it as a status quo of violence that was lesser 4 years ago and greater now.

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.
