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 feel like you'd unironically quote the Stallman copypasta. You may be right but dude, unclench a little.
I'm fine. Just sick of people with names like "TimLivesTech" out here spouting off complete nonsense. It makes everyone who comes in contact with him a little worse for having believed his bullshit.
More people need to call it out and correct, not "unclench" and just let it keep happening.
But you were being a jerk about it when you didn't need to be. Trust me, we recognize our own. I've been trying to retrain myself out of that for a while with I think at least moderate success, enough that I feel I can bring it to someone else's attention when I see it without being a complete hypocrite in the process.
