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.

You are right, there are people who just gave up. But they sadly don't comment most of the time.
There’s probably a good amount of literal kids on these networks who are just too young to understand/like politics. And suddenly see their idols get into stuff they don’t understand. It’d be interesting to figure out ratio of kids to adults who dislike people/media/companies “going political”
Intriguing argument, you got there.
Not sure if sarcasm or not. But I’m also not saying the kids are the majority - I just remember going to shady websites when I was 12. The internet felt safer back then but what kid is going to be stopped by “are you at least 13?” prompt. Imagining kids going to your_least_favorite_instance also seems petty bad.
no sarcasm
