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.

Wait till you find out that your SSD has it's own CPU, RAM and is running software on it's own micro-OS just for writing bits to flash storage.

Wait even more until you find out the same is true for your SIM card.

If you survive the shock, you could go on and write software that runs entirely on your SIM card in fucking JAVA.
