This web site was created to promote Linux distributions when no one was interested in Linux.
There were only 32 PCs worldwide at that time and I was one of them in Ceylon, statistically insignificant number and India did not have any.
Currently only about 3% users but about 10% of the guys in YouTube talk about it, like people talking about Meiditation but never practice it.
Google uses gDeb and it about to 6% the total.
Apple is a variant of Unix from which Linux started its origin.
Linux Torvalds had a little outing with his professor ?Thanabaum and outcome was Linux.
My aim is to promote Linux so that before I kick the bucket at least 10% of the PC users use it as a "Freedom Project".
1. pidgin
Pidgin (formerly named Gaim) is a free and open-source multi-platform instant messaging client, based on a library named libpurple that has support for many instant messaging protocols, allowing the user to simultaneously log in to various services from a single application, with a single interface for both popular and obsolete protocols (from AIM to Discord), thus avoiding the hassle of having to deal with new software for each device and protocol.
As of 2007, the number of Pidgin users was estimated to be over three million.
Pidgin is widely used for its Off-the-Record Messaging(OTR) plugin, which offers end-to-end encryption.
For this reason it is included in the privacy and anonymity focused operating systemTails.

10. Neofetch
Neofetch is a system information tool written in the Bash shell scripting language. By default, on the left side is a logo of the distribution, rendered in ASCII art. Unlike a system monitor, the tool only features a static display of the computer's basic hardware and software configurations and their versions, typically operating system, the host (namely the technical name of the machine), uptime, package managers, the shell, display resolution, desktop environment, window manager, themes and icons, the computer terminal, CPU, GPU, and RAM. Neofetch can also display images on the terminal with w3m-img in place of the ASCII logo art.
Neofetch development has been discontinued as of April 26, 2024.
