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.

Fingers crossed for socials skills in FOSS communities, then it's game over for big tech
Hear hear. The voice of our community, LazerDickMcCheese.
I spent several hours last night talking about FOSS projects and tech certifications to a guy in entry-level IT. I'm out here doing my best, guys
They'll just take the ick out of his name when he assumes his PR/Community manager role
Nah, just add some fancy shit, like Dr. LazerDickMcCheese, esq.
Even if we have social skills, they've got the numbers.
