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.

Love the sentiment, and I agree, but anti consumer surveillance tech is here to stay, sadly. Can't tell you how many people in my life have Alexa, FireTV and random shit like that.

This doesn't mean that you have to surrender to it.

Little baby steps, at least we can make the difference for ourselves... But Google is in my walls

Why don't you take google out of your walls?

It's threatening me with breaking my house's structural integrity

Oh yeah, load-bearing Googles are a trap
