Linux

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.

I use and love many flavors of Linux, but Windows and macOS are honestly cool too and I use all of them on a daily basis. It’s just cringey to me when people get all dumb and elitist about Linux.

I agree the post is cringe, my brain somehow just thought I'd make a dry slightly related remark (context below) and it ended up sounding a bit too serious.

The context was that I've seen quite a few angry/troll posts elsewhere on this instance recently complaining there are too many Linux communities on here, and I found this post to be the other extreme.
