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.

Ive got some ideas to try with a flashdrive ive picked up but i want to know what others would do with such a device? I was thinking i could use it for retro gaming or something like important files.

What would you do?

I know its not alot of room but i got it for cheap.

I’ve gor 4x8TB units in my NAS running Synology’s equivalent of RAID 5, but better. And then I also have 2x12TB drives in my main workstation for downloads, eval, testing & staging, services and data hoarding from open directories. I’m not saying I’m filling it all up, because I do have plenty of space available, but I’m def using it substantially lol.
