Linux
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.

Pretty right-leaning.
Right wing libertarian, to be a bit more precise.
There is no such thing. Libertarian means centrist, and right wing means, well, right wing.
Libertarians can be left or right. What they have in common is that the government should have limited powers, but what they disagree with is what type of limited powers it should have. Rightist libertarians believe in laissez faire capitalism (their main name in economics is Ludwig von Mises), while leftist libertarians believe that corporations should be put at more scrutiny by the government.
Small correction: Leftist libertarians is usually another term for anarchism. I.e. There shouldn't be neither governments nor corporations, but rather decentralized, self-governed communities and worker-owned cooperatives.
The way I learned it is that anarcho-socialism is the extremist version of leftist libertarianism. A moderate libertarian doesn't mind the existence of a government, as long as it is limited. As for the anarchists, I know that they exist and I know that there are both on the left and the right, but I don't have interest in reading their literature (it might be a cool theory to read, but the fact that it is so far from practice makes my interest in it practically vanish).
I've never heard any libertarians be referred to as "moderate". As far as I understand it, "libertarianism" already includes a radical worldview. Wanting less government an simultaneously more government control IMHO sound a bit oxymoronic.
As an anarchist myself, of course I disagree with your stance on the practicability on anarchism. ;)
I've never heard
Well, looks like conversation is impossible then. Unless you have better sources, those two words are not 100% the same. Anarchism is a specific word, coming from the greek anarkhia, meaning "without a ruler". Libertarianism, on the contrary, is a more broad word, since liberta is latin for "freedom".
This is not about the dictionary, but about historical movements/strains of thought. The french "socialisme libertaire" is the term they used in 18th century France. And libertarian socialism aims for the freedom of all people from rulers.
Edit: Found a source
You're confusing liberal with libertarian.
And I'm curious: What is "right wing" in your opinion?
He's very edgy, I don't like his content. If I want someone to talk about tech, I'd rather they just talk about tech and not make wojack thumbnails and constantly making fun of politics.
If he only knew anything about politics, it wouldn't be so bad. He seriously applauded Elon Musk for "fighting" against media bias by "the far-left democrats". 🫠
It's because he just regurgitates all his takes from /g/ on 4chan.
For people on 4chan that is as close to developing an own personality as possible. I feel pity for them.
