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.

Much obliged for the link. Personally, I can't stand the guy. Not only does he lean into sensationalism too much for my liking, but at least one of his videos - the one with Waymo - is just flat out advertising.
He's also aggressively liberal. Watching him discuss politics (which he loves to shoehorn into math/physics videos) as someone significantly left of liberalism is infuriating.
Same with his video about Google DeepMind. Vastly oversold.
