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 want that on a t-shirt! And I'm definitely going to steal it for my slack tagline.

I mean both are great in concept, but man are some folks insufferable to talk to regarding both. Ubuntu, part time vegetarian...

What does part time vegetarian mean? Either you go full vegan or you belong in the trash and the reason why earth is dying. Dont take veganism lightly and respect us for we are your savior and the beacon of light for humanity.
