To the kernel. To the source. To the reason it all works in the first place. But root runs deeper than a command line. Linux itself is the root — the foundation beneath the open internet.When you go back to root, you're not just elevating privileges. You're reconnecting with the origin of modern computing.

Support for James Mason's Family
For decades, James Mason (bear454) has been a well-known fixture in the
local tech community, making innumerable connections through his work
with SUSE and as an organizer and President of the Board for Linuxfest Northwest.
James' passing after over four years of dealing with cancer and a rare clotting
disorder has left his wife, Alina, and his two children facing financial hardship.
We’re reaching out to everyone who knew James, and especially to the Linux
and open source community that meant so much to him. Any contribution
— big or small — will help ease the burden on James' loved ones. Thank you for
helping us honor James’ legacy and the spirit of community he cherished and nurtured.
