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.

Ha!
jq
was the bratty kid I yelled at to get off my lawn. Now he's a drinking buddy, but still the youngest!It's true that compared to the other utilities, it's rather new. First release was almost 13 years ago.
awk
, which I think is the closest comparison, on the other hand turns 50 in 2027... though new awk is only 40.
