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.

Its fucking children, dipshits and idiots from reddit who haven't figured out how to use a good fucking damn search engine. And expects the masses to just provide them the information on request. And they just take it entirely at face value because they don't have the mental capacity to fact check anything.
So you can just straight up lie, bullshit and say what ever the fuck you want to them. And they will believe you. Cause what are they going to do? Research? They wouldn't have asked if they had that ability in the first place.
So take this chance to fuck with someone entirely guilt free knowing that the person asking the question doesn't have two brain cells to run together.
Or be the better man, and give them accurate information and hope they arnt just looking to reinforce a uneducated opinion they have. Making any good will effort to actually give them helpful advice a fools errand.
