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.

To clarify. Authoritarianism is the belief that a singular authority should hold strong control over a system often meaning those who act against it or disagree should face punishment output by said system. I dislike people who agree with that idea, but if they change their opinion mine may too
They're from Mastodon, even wilder things happen there.
