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 none of my predictions come true, I made some peeps laugh and that's enough

If they do I get to call back to this post and pretend I'm smart (I am not)

Either way, it's a net positive.

Don't forget to delete this comment before you call back to the original one. Otherwise the future people will know you aren't actually smart!

Edit: Also, hello there future people!
