💜 HISTORY 💜

the eqos device driver was written by Jared D. McNeill 🫶 credit where credit is due, we love a documented author.

and it first appeared in NetBSD 10.0 ⭐ so she's not ancient, she's fresh, she's new-gen, she's iykyk.

lowkey important: everything above is exactly what the page says — I'm just hyping it up. don't come for me if you needed more lore, the manpage is short and I respect her boundaries 💀

🎀 and that's the page!! this beauty is from the Debian crew, dated October 20, 2023, and the manual page itself is filed under EQOS(4) — so next time your terminal says EQOS(4) at you, you'll know exactly who she is. mwah 💋✨
