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.

Four contrarians walk into a bar. The first one says "ouch, I stubbed my toe on a chair". The second one says "there is no actual bar, because this is a joke", the third one says "no it is real, I'll have one real beer, please". The fourth one walks away.
But more seriously: yikes.
Some of this nonsense reminds me of the libav douchery.
