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.

Oh wow. I checked the stats for Norway, which is at 12%. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/norway Sweden and Denmark at <2%, Finland 4%, Iceland 3%. That is a surprising W for Norway.
Linus, his daughter, and a few test instances
Hmmm, says 13% now 🤔 Is Bjørn booting up his porn servers again?
Norway is the first world of the Scandinavians. Im not suprised
As a Norwegian. Nah. We're very much similar in culture, which is why this is surprising. The whole "we are better than " is mostly for fun.
Almost 2nd spot! Keep going!
