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.

Out of curiosity, what perfect wonderland operating system are you using then?
Placing a bet now: Windows.
Weirdly I’m getting BSD vibes, even leaning a little towards MacOS.
Ooh, yeah, good call, I always forget them when things get dweeby.
I swear, nothing is commie enough for Lemmy. "Linux? Pshhhsshs! Cuck!" Mentions no alternative
I bet he uses CPU5 on a Centurion Minicomputer.
What a dumb bet. I do use Linux, NixOS specifically, across all my laptops and servers. I still begrudge the corporate influence.
If you lost the bet, what do I win?
