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.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/KyADkmRVe0U

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I used to enjoy some of this dudes stuff but here and there I get the vibe that he's talking out of his ass too often while still putting on like he's some authoritative voice. If the setup was more "ha im just playing around and making a list for fun" rather than "this is how worthwhile each distro is" i don't think he'd get as much heat for stuff like this.
