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.

linus (sebastian) is not a great person but cmon that's a big stretch.
What is the stretch? That he registered at kiwi farms and even got his account verified so he could shitpost with them, make fun of "lolcows", and tell them to use more slurs? Or that he himself actively did not deny it and even joked about how people who think that is a bad idea have bad teeth?
this kinda just shows he was affected by their trolling.
How does He know their lingo?
that's literally standard internet chud lingo, what does this have to do with anything
Lolcow is not standard, I had to look it up. Seems to be kiwifarm specific.
Who is Chris Chan?
They got out of prison for sexually assaulting their mother in 2023. So...
