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.

Aren’t we all?
A normal Tuesday for a Linux user.
Next time, use a VPN so it doesn’t all show in the US.
They're on the feddit.uk instance, so it's more likely that they're British. Either their VPN prefers USA servers for some reason, or they've only done about 138 million downloads at most.
