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.

Agreed. I was fully aware that forking Linux is more of a joke than anything.
Spot on on the hobby point. If I am writing code while not being paid, I need to enjoy every moment of it. In addition to coding, project managing and ensuring backlash make me nope the fuck out of it.
