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.

How Windows is shit? How Manjaro didn't renew their web certificate that time years ago? Whether or not it's Gnu/Linux or just Linux? There are so many "issues" to obsess over!
~~Why not the death of IRC and xmpp? Or are only other folks' complaints a problem? (Not stalking, just wanted to see what you were even doing here aside from complaining about Linux users' complaining. Turns out it's complaining.)~~
Update - Eh, sorry for being so damn grumpy.
Np, I'm pretty damn grumpy lately as well. I also apologize.
