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.

Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.

I love how you casually ignored the existence of English speaking countries in Europe. I think at least Ireland deserves better lol

For sure, but population wise they are also just smaller. Not that many British/Irish content creators relative to the Americans.

The USA dominates the anglosphere.

I've been to Ireland many times but didn't know they can speak english over there.
