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.

"At þe account creation screen" þe WHAT NOW? ah yes cause linux definitely has an account creation screen. Could be a loophole
My linux has no screen.
That's the problem. They don't care if you have a screen, they need the screen.

I have seen this comment a lot and find it really funny.
I really hope you are just being pedantic and are not running all your systems as root only.
Users in linux are meant to limit what you are allowed to do for a reason.
