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.

Question: how is LinkedIn useful to you?

For me it's just a non-stop swarm of recruiters from India who want me to kindly listen to their offer of a job that pays less than I'd make picking up garbage, utter sociopaths dredging up some psychotic hustle culture nonsense, and previous people I've worked with/for asking for favors, which of course means free.

Is it somehow more useful for an actual business?
