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.

Isn't that comment pretty toxic though, even if it's toxic for the viewpoint that (I suppose) you support?

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I mean I agree 100% with what he's saying too, and also how he's saying it, but I wouldn't call this exactly mild.

It’s all relative. With Linus, with what I have been exposed to, this does give a milder impression, can’t really explain why though.
