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.

The mention of the EULA brought back bad memories.
That was not a joke. I'm the guy that reads the Terms of Service and especially the Privacy Policy. I'm not a lawyer, but the more of these you read, the easier it gets to weed out the good ones from the standard (read: terrible) ones, and the absolutely monstrous ones. The Windows EULA is among the worst ones I've read (though I admittedly did a skim read of that one). As I was writing this, I decided to actually read the EULA and found a grammatical error in it lol.
haha.
Similar, I skim then, don't really know what they exactly mean, but often some terms and phrases are just scary.
Is there any youtube channel or something where someone knowledgeable goes through them and points out what the different parts mean.
I think that'd be quite interesting or at least useful.
