Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

Nice story, but Libertarians want liberty - huh! Liberty is the absence of coercion. Corporations are a forced manipulation, intrusion & coercion upon a free market. They have government granted limited liability, send lobbyists to manipulate rules in their favour and create regulatory capture to lock out smaller competitors. Competition is part of a free market - which libertarians want! Facts! Libertarianism was the original American ideal known as Liberalism, now Classical Liberalism. In the modern era you are better off referencing Rothbard than Freedman.

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.
