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.

Hah what? So you are running from bad corporations to daddy government? Somwhere I took another turn because this journey turned me into a libertarian.
If workers run the government, then sure.
In theory it's great, but have you seen the complete fucking braindead idiots we share this world with?
You do realize that some of these idiots have way more power (money) than they should have any right to? Elon Musk, Bobby Kotick, ...
Elon is just an ultra autist, I don't think he's stupid if you make him do some engineering stuff.
I've actually never seen any reason to believe that he has any engineering chops.
