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.

If you could read youd be very upset by my reply.
Your name is literally troll account 69.
What a loser.
Please read. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks is no substitute. When you listen you’re thinking in a different way than when you’re reading and it’s important not to lose those cognitive capacities.
My entire job is reading bud. What are you even on about. It sounds like you should go work on that cognitive capacity.
