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.

If it were anyone other than Amazon or Apple.
Speaking of which, isn't MacOS Linux based these days? How much have they contributed back? (Genuine question)
A quick search confirms that MacOS is based from proprietary BSD UNIX code. It is not compatible with Linux
It's pretty annoying you replied to someone's nice, well thought out comment with your own bullshit. Then speculated about something you could have googled in 7 seconds max.
