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.

Have a happy 4.20!
Look up who had his birthday at 4/20 (American style, so 20th April) and we'll see if you're still praising the number. It's associated with more than just drugs.
What is it associated with? For me, it's just the time when the stoners smoke the weed, because at that time no one bothers or mind if you are high. And weed is a drug, as coffee and your PC addictions could be. Alcohol is a worse drug, so.
On plural? How many more drugs it is about? XD I thought it was just weed...
I have a step-grandfather who is for some reason proud to be born on the same day as fucking hitler. It's hitler's birthday.
Well I didn't know about that and it's very disgusting...
It is disgusting, and is one of the reasons I can't stand the guy
Yeah, I can understand it now...
