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.

Please, tell me more about this Arrow Block.
Beware that it can make the stupidest videos look interesting.
Thanks, dearrow, not arrow block. I've had it installed and haven't looked at it in ages
Bro, what’s up with these thumbnails, man? Like who asked for this?
The Algorithm™
Not joking, there is a not insignificant portion of the population spurred to click videos based on thumbnails like these.
That’s absolutely ridiculous. I personally steer away from these thumbnails. It feels insulting.
