    What if you don’t fear technology, have no life, and are technologically behind and don’t understand what anything but the apple and windows symbols are? I recognize the penguin from an EEE PC that I had like 15 years ago, but that’s it.

    *Sorry I also recognize Google, just not immediately apparently.

      In that case, I guess it’s time to get educated about Linux. At least to the point, where you understand, that what I’m referring to, should actually be called “GNU/Linux”.

      *“I recognize Google” is also not Google itself, but specifically the Chrome Logo that refers to Chrome OS in this case.

      You’re a human with the knowledge of a time lord! You know more than you let on don’t you.

      They’re distributions that add onto an open source set of softwares - including a kernel and common utilities - that can be made into a fully fledged operating system.

      Together the family of OSes are referred to as Linux systems since the kernel (the main bit of an OS) is called Linux.

        Oooh I don’t want to spoil new episodes for anyone so I can’t actually respond to the Time Lord knowledge bit, but I feel like I recognized some of the words you used lmao.

              RTD has really captured the magic of the original run. My doctor was Matt smith but David tenant is just so wholesome!

                He really is, so is his wife. And he slays every role he plays. I rarely miss an opportunity to catch him on screen.

                And I am so glad RTD is back! Moffat was fun and all, but both he and Chibnall were better at the short stories that could be told in an episode or two.
