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.

Uh, yes. Physically touching thousands of computers to boot them into safe mode and delete a file is time consuming. It turns out physically touching thousands of machines is time consuming anywhere, especially when it is all of them at once.
Which is why your take is laughably bad. Stick to the tech and not zealotry next time, and maybe not CNN for tech news.
