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.

Thanks! As someone stuck in the hell hole that is the US, that sounds like Utopia!
It really is. Of course, we still live in a wider context of corporate capitalism, and it sucks here as it does in the whole country. They're gutting public transit, school budgets, and healthcare. Our local representatives are hard-right assholes, because the old farts vote more than us.
yeah, fucking capitalism. well, at least you guys aren't out there killing everyone like us. but, the old farts have been a big part in our mess too, for the same reasons.
