We are a group of linux enthusiasts, which invite you to join our journey across all ups and downs. Trilinux is a community that believes in the power of open source software and the Linux operating system. We are passionate about exploring the possibilities that Linux offers and sharing our knowledge with others. Whether you are a seasoned Linux user or just starting out, we welcome you to join us in our quest for knowledge and adventure. Let's explore the world of Linux together!
Linux was first released in September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Strictly speaking Linux is just the kernel in the GNU/Linux operating system. It is the most installed OS in the world, that is mainly due to the fact that android use Linux as its OS. The free operating system is leading in pretty much all markets except for the desktop-market- a potential growing segment?!
From a infosec perspective there are two reasons we should learn Linux. The first is that the majority of all servers in the world is running on Linux. And if we want to hack those servers we of course have to understand how they work. The second reason is that the vast majority of all hacking-tools are only available on Linux.
Although there is only one Linux Kernel there are many Linux Distributions with different versions. That is because the GNU/Linux OS is a mix of GNU software and the Linux Kernel. The GNU/Linux OS can be packaged in a million different ways, with different software preinstalled, with different configurations, with different Graphical User Interface (GUI). The fact that you can configure the OS however you like has given rise to the many different versions. These different versions are usually called distros. There are hundreds of different distros. Some common ones are: Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat, CentOS and Arch.
We encourage you to try out different distributions. With a live-usb you can try out any distribution before an installation on your system. You find further informations in the security wiki from Taha Gandhi. There are also many more details relating to the linux timeline (according to the left or mobile hidden picture).
We try to run an instruction transformer on customer hardware. You can try out a cpu-notebook.
Test it in the huggingface space to the right or underneath. If it is overloaded, then you can try to load and inference A Light Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (ALBERT) on huggingface.
Tanslate the fediverse and lower the language barriers.
