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.

Translation: “everything the right dislikes is to be declared “political” and taboo to discuss. Only things they approve of are acceptable conversation.”
This is the problem with “don’t talk politics” policies. It makes discussion anything those in power dislike taboo. It’s a way to telling people they are not allowed to discuss things inconvenient to those in power. Never trust this.
