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.

You could try not being a dick. Just a thought.
Edit: after seeing your other comments it's pretty clear you're a troll.
I'd say the same to you
pretty telling that the community takes criticism of gatekeeping superiority complexes as being equivalent to trolling
Nah I'm just going to go ahead and block you for douchebaggery. Good luck getting anyone to like having you around.
