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.

People are down-voting this poor guy. Ffs, just read what OP thinks of this:

Personally I believe this is a very poor take.

Yeah rip the post content, probably just drive-by downvoters

Not sure what the title was before you changed it, but if I see a post in my feed that looks like this (without the "very bad take" part), I wouldn't even want to open the post to see the description. I'm glad you clarified by editing the title, but without making your stance clear in the title from the very beginning, it would be bound to receive a barrage of downvotes.

The title was the same thing but without the "[Very bad take] " bit, I probably wouldn't have read the description and just jumped to the comments. I don't really care about votes though, I find comments much more interesting. If I post content I just take any votes as a review of the content, if I've commented my honest opinion and put some thought into the comment only to get downvotes and no comments really explaining why then I'm a bit disappointed.

I understand that.

I upvote insightful, educational or newsworthy content and downvote clickbait. Especially YouTube clickbait.
