This website serves as my Capolavoro, built to be presented as a "small thesis" for my exam. I chose to explore the concept of GNU/Linux, a long-time passion of mine, through a medium I studied in class. It is built on raw HTML with a touch of CSS, with substance and clarity in mind.
What began as a modest project has evolved into a full-fledged alternative that competes alongside giants like Microsoft and Apple. GNU/Linux has been under continuous development for decades, and its growth shows no signs of slowing. One could say that, thanks to the immense support from both global communities and major corporations, the system is currently at its zenith.
Its various distributions, operating systems that combine the Linux kernel with GNU utilities, have become so accessible that they have expanded far beyond the 'tech enthusiast' circle. Today, understanding GNU/Linux is no longer just for power users; it is a relevant topic for anyone navigating the modern digital world.
In alignment with the philosophy of GNU/Linux, this website follows the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. My goal is to keep the content concise and accessible, presented through an eye-pleasing interface that stays out of the way of the information.
To make the world of GNU/Linux easier to navigate, I have subdivided this project into three categories. These sections explore why Linux matters, not just to engineers and developers, but also to everyday users who may not have a prior interest in technology.
The three main topics are listed as following:
Needless to say, just like GNU/Linux, this website is entirely open source. There is probably not much to take inspiration from, and there is a lot to improve. While I am not a fan of external contributions for such personal projects, I am always open to critiques and possible improvements.
