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.

It is so stupid... Why make drama instead of making linux better as a whole. A sad thing to see in general.

American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology's goal becomes the "greater cause" worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

Oh those dang culture warriors, amiright. *shakes fist*

Unlike say you, who would never post an article about how NPR isn't right-wing enough (lol) on a Linux forum.

Totally agree. Started with the Me-Too movement where we saw people accused and convicted without due process. It seemed to spin out of the Jian Gnomeshi acquittal.

I sorta agree, but the "greater cause" doesn't exist.
