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.

An image is added to an article to catch the reader's eyes, so the article gets read. I pointed out that this image didn't transmit a proper impression of the article.
If you are as superior as your condescending attitude suggests that you don't even get a first impression of things, good for you. But us, mortals, will have an impression of the article posted by taking a glance at the thumbnail or the cover of a book, if that were the case.
Of course, that first impression will change after reading the actual content, but getting the first impression right gets you more people looking at the content.
ascii art doesnt transmit a proper impression but a silly penguin for an os does?
ASCII art has virtually no relation to Linux and the penguin is at least its mascot. Judge ém or not it's a SYMBOL, while the ascii art thing does not symbolize much related to the article
The picture literally mentions kali linux how many distros mentioned do u need if only u gave same attention to the writing
Kali has no relation to ASCII art, and I've read the entire article... the writing is pretty bland but to the point while simultaneously bringing nothing of value
Kali isnt mentioned in the article either, do you intend to complain about that too?
Yea
Would you prefer the transgender fox Linux mascot named Xenia? 🧐
Im not the one judging content based on thumbnails/logos, ask literally anyone else in this thread
Sorry to break it to you bud, but after some 3000 downvotes I don't think anyone really agrees with anything you've said, ever.
So?
