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.

I seen alot of people say "AI is just a tool" ngl There is nothing wrong with that it's just a little overused
It feels like marketing speech to me at this point. Like a new form of "it's the newest model."
Ehh
That's one of the problems of companies devaluing and abusing language so much that words are in danger to lose any meaning. It is a difference however whether Torvalds uses such a word, or a corporation advertising bullshit. It is really clear that corporations want to replace software developers.
Maybe your right
