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'm trying to figure out what demographic would be downvoting this to hell. Arch users getting triggered by a clickbait title? Arch haters trying to cope with a somewhat charitable take on arch users? Or are we all just downvoting for the meme?

I downvote because he asked how many he can get. Otherwise, I'm neutral to it, as I'm not gonna watch a video in public rn.

Also, I use Arch btw

Nobody watched the video and the down arrow is there for when you disagree, simple as.

I don't understand why people assume everyone reads or watches the content.

I can see how it's annoying... But it's more annoying seeing people complain about it because for some reason they can't possibly fathom that people post without reading/watching. They just seem like control freaks... It's the internet, not a private school or courtroom under oath.
