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.

Do you happen to remember where in the book did she claim that? I'm honestly trying to just figure out where in the book you read that since I don't think anyone else came off from reading it with such a drastically different number. What everyone else, such as the other book you mentioned, keeps saying is "approximately 100". It's such a big disparity that it's interesting.

Such proud, unapologetic, arrogant lying.

Okay but really, last reply. Have a nice life. Hope you find a way to stop huffing your own farts.

I mean tbh I think you've just made a mistake and are too pigheaded to admit it. But I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt, it might just be an honest case of misremembering. If you have the book around or otherwise remember where those numbers were claimed in it we could easily check and that'd be that.
