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.

It's pretty funny how they're trying to characterize a Linux distro as independence from Western tech. The closest we've gotten to that idea is TempleOS, not a Linux distro with spyware baked into it.
Did you check their open source repository to see if this is true or are you just repeating liberal propaganda?
I'm repeating liberal propaganda because I'm a CIA plant, Communism would be thriving if not for us. Happy now? Validated?
