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.

This just in: Why I'm staying with my husband that doesn't beat me, doesn't gaslight me, doesn't rape children or explain daily why rapists should run our country. He helps with chores too. The reason will shock you.
It's his dick, obviously
Alright, I'm lost in the analogy now. What's the dick in Linux?
That sense of superiority for using Linux? The 'btw' those arch folks use?
btw I use arch is what you say when you show your partner your ikea shark and stripey socks
Maybe they meant the Linux mascot, the duck named Dux right?
Xenia for sure
My dick; I fuck Linux so hard
