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.

New gens are ruining everything - "vertical video" gen-z, really?
Y'all need a spanking.
Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.
Same here, but it also depends per country since well average life spans, average age to buy a house, average age to start a family etc all have an impact on when a new generation starts.
As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I'd say it's at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.
