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.

Get out with this noise. This is the same nonsense as "just install Linux" to a person with a Windows problem.
Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven't paid for it?
Please kindly fuck off.
Here mofo, go purchase Ubuntu Pro..

Canonical can suck my balls.
Wait you thought that meme was factual? 🫨 Even OP themselves said in that thread it was a joke he made to troll Canonical haters. [email protected] is rarely factual.
Whether factual or not, that's still the direction Canonical is heading.
