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.

I don't think it's a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise
And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I'm a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn't give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little "positivity or praise" for Linux.
I mean... This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn't the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me
Good to know.
Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?
Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?
Like I feel that you're missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most "leopards ate my face" post in this community and yet it's being upvoted because "hooray tribalism" over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.
