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.

Pretty much every country is engaged in cyber warfare to some degree

That's what states, militaries and other competition-infected minds do. Usually they say they imagine this to protect from it, then it becomes a weapon and "oops all wars"

I hate to be the bringer of bad news for you but everyone is "completion minded" as you say. That's how the world works

No that's a poisonous ideology that maskerades as normal.

No, it simply isn't. And even if it were true, there are people like me, who will gladly only be competitive in games and sports.
