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.

Why are catboys/girls and furries always the best at explaining stuff succinctly?? Lmao
Maybe that skill is how they end up with suspiciously high amounts of money.

They run the internet now so they really know how it works.

At first I thought this was a joke, but it's actually informative 🤔
