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.

"I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words"
Let me guess... you use XFCE/icewm/mate/cde/windowmaker/enlightenment/someoldshit?
This is the contempt I’m talking about.
The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.
Nah, I just treat them like equals :)
Which is the same as "despise"
So basically, "they're trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I'm gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn't the latest bleeding edge stuff?"
Cuz that's what i get outta that whole, article...that and that you really, really like to swear.
Pretty much and a lot of people agree with me. It's the boomers who get triggered.
