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.

FIFA? Get a PlayStation. Use your computer for serious things.
The most Linux response. Linux doesn't fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s
Oh shut up. Honestly what a loser take.
"How dare you play games on your PC!!! I'm the arbiter of what people do on their PCs and I say games are banned!!"
Jesus Christ, get a life.
They aren’t banned, you’re just a stupid loser for using them like that
Ah yeah, losers are people who use their computers to run recreational software, as opposed to the people who come onto social media and cry about people using their hardware recreationally, who definitely aren't losers in the slightest.
That was sarcasm, by the way. I'm calling you a loser.
What? Why?
