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.

What you use as a wallpaper is personal choice. Maybe you like anime. Maybe you are a fan of a game franchise. It's personal choice, so it shouldn't matter to anyone else what you have on your wallpaper.
Shouldn't you be allowed to wear Adidas shoes, since you run Linux on your PC?
If you aren't compiling your own shoes you are legally forbidden to use Linux.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
