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.

Where have you been, the cave?
Linux community have been solving problems together since the dawn of time, despite the bazillion different standards they endorse on their own, they collaborate with each other.
Take a look at KDE & GNOME. They are opposed to each other on the surface level, but they both share countless amount of work. Also MATE, which is a fork of GNOME that is created basically from disagreement of modern GNOME's direction, still uses a lot of GNOME's library.
It was meant to be a meme reply more than anything serious. Obviously there are communities and individuals working together, and on other places they fight each other. I should have made that more clear, that's on me.
