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.

It's a mix of conquered, purchased and stolen land
Conquered is a funny way of stolen.
Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.
killing the previous owner has been a long established way of getting land for thousands of years
Yes that’s one of the mechanisms to steal the land
theft requires a victim, the dead do a bad job of filling that role
So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.
After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.
if there's no punishment for murder in war why should there be punishment for killings in peace
How did you make it through the Ukraine bombings you weirdo Russian bot
A lot of blatant and obvious reasons that really shouldn’t require an explanation.
You’re disgusting
