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.

Will do. He keeps damaging the reputation of the only real alternative to windows and he might be getting paid by Microsoft to do it. The last time he did this was fucking absurd. The terminal basically told him not to type a command unless he absolutely knew well what he was doing and he did it anyway. I will always maintain that if a user reads a lengthy and terrifying warning and then proceeds without any research, they have invited data and OS loss.
