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.

If the computer is part of the means of production for everyone, then sure,everyone owns the computer. If the computer is your personal computer, then no, it's your computer.
Doesnt sound very communist to me. To the gulag with you.
well, no, in communism the is no private property, your computer needs to be shared with the rest of the population that are not so lucky to have one. What are you? Some greedy ceo or something?
Communism is the workers own the means of production collectively. That doesn't preclude private ownership in totality.
No, I'm not a greedy CEO. I'm a filthy hippy witch that's wants to see capitalism replaced with genuine utopian socialism.
you are wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal')[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state (or nation state).
The vast majority of people here who are self-identifying as communists don't agree with that
