From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Frankly I started to hold Linux like it was a religion, but beyond that admission it's not that I care about them but them constantly saying shit like so which they know they don't actually believe in or will do
Imagine advocating for a protest just for you to not even show up
I've been playing with linux since the mid 90s. I have it on majority of my devices, but my main is still running windows 10. Exactly because it doesn't run everything I need 100%, nor do I enjoy spending hours trying to get things to work anymore.
I mean, I think protests are important but I have to work to stay out of the homeless shelter
