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.

Then how do you stop its wrong-hand usage ?
If you want it to be used by the right hands just cut everyone's left hand. /j
Insisting on high standards for code readability and quality - even higher than before GenAI was a thing - could help.
Ofc, but even before LLMs, executives wanted to get things fast in any way possible, allowing for crappy code to get shipped. LLMs made it far easier and likable since "AI SMART"
Thankfully, Linux doesn't have executives and shareholders like Windows does... right?
That's why the Linux Kernel isn't run by executives. They want quality.
