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.

If the article has “game-changer” in the headline, skip it.

Game Changer quickly became one of my favorite shows this year!

It's quoting the source who used that specific term

It makes the statement worse but not the article. I find the article pretty objective

Did it change your game?

Tell me you judged the article by its title without telling me....

If you had read it, you'd notice that the author does not feel it is a game changer.

But still, even by reading the title alone, you mussed the quotation signs. It is not the author who calls it game changer but the chief developer.
