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.

Interesting. Probably I'm not sensitive to it. Most of the stuff I scroll through is code and it would annoy me to no end to have it scroll and show me half a line at the bottom and top of the screen.
Just noticed that my browser also has smooth scrolling enabled (by default I assume) and turning it off, I see the difference. But given I have apps that don't and never noticed means it never was important to me.
Thanks for explaining.
