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.

everybody claps and cheers when you say jUsT gOoGLe iT instead of being a decent human being and providing context
Especially annoying considering google has been getting worse every day
I wouldn't know because I haven't used it in years, stuck to duckduckgo 😁
@bappity @asexualchangeling sadly duck duck go is basically just a bing proxy
at least it's not Google and it works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@bappity no yeah totally I used it for ages it just sucks there is no truly independent privacy orientated browser. the closest thing to that is brave search
please tell me you're joking brave is anything but that 💀
@bappity its an independent search algorithm and yes the company itself is flawed... but the search is open source if I'm not mistaken
