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've tried reading through the article, but unfortunately, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I use openSUSE, how does this affect me, and what do I need to do/what can I do about this?
You don’t need to do anything, these issues have already been fixed.
Perfect. Thank you for taking the time to respond
