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.

Holy moly, there is a lot of stuff for haters to talk about. Each of these parts are very polarizing on its own, but combined, phew.
You forgot rust 🦀
Oh my, you are right, sudo-rs!!
Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don't think I've run across that so much as the "everything ever made must be rewritten in rust" crowd, and then everyone else who doesn't much care what language is used as long as it works.
It's probably the MIT licensed rust reimplementation of coreutils and sudo-rs
