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.

Bravo Michael for continuing to farm bullshit drama with clickbait headlines on the most inane topics like "how my DE handles pasting text"
Does Gnome have a proper file picker yet?
You mean "once again". They had one, but screwed it up. Who the fuck types in the file save dialog expecting it to perform SEARCH?
