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.

Many may already know this offer from Sticker Mule, but you can get basic Unix swag really cheaply to stick on a laptop or water bottle.

I bought myself a couple and can confirm it's legit and good quality.

Jeez sending that Liberal moron shirt to a person ordering a shirt raising awareness to indigenous murders is really fucked up

StickerMule claims it was an innocent mistake, but not sure how credible that is https://twitter.com/stickermule/status/1656058962247053312

I think that was done by somebody who knows the corporate culture, and further knows what can be gotten away with.

Huh, wish I’d known that before I ordered.

Will avoid in future, as that’s genuinely quite fucked up…
