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.

Reddit is now popping up banners that take up literally half the page if you're browsing a thread. Half of the value of Reddit is that you can find answers to a lot of questions on there via Googling, and they're now killing that
Search engines need to stop promoting Reddit links on the front page. But they won't, so I guess I'll try to use Brave Search more often, maybe they will listen if it becomes a big problem.
