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.

transitioning isn't legally recognized anymore, per executive order, you may only use the operating system assigned at birth /s
Assigned at conception. In humans, this is always female, as sexual differentiation doesn't happen for weeks. In computers... idk maybe we have to go back to punched tape?
Gears, my friend. The transistors don't form from these proto-circuits until the third trimester, and the CPU doesn't start forming until the last two weeks.
Doctors of Computer Science will often label the computer Windows or Mac around week 18, but you won't truly know whether it's a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer until after the build, sometimes years after.
fair point, i'd recommend going as far as we can, we f'ed up big time on the way!
