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.

Here's a google prompt for you: "raspberry pi police"
No need to be an ass about it. For those who don't want to sift through an article, the RPi Foundation apparently hired an ex-cop who had been known to use their products to conduct surveillance, and that caused a controversy.
"Are they still [irrelevant complaint]"
"What?"
"GoOgLe iT"
Sigh...
"Raspberry Pi eats babies".
everybody claps and cheers when you say jUsT gOoGLe iT instead of being a decent human being and providing context
