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.

You have either been living under a rock for years, or you are deliberately delusional.

You are either lying or hanging out in weird places but sure let's make it a character flaw of mine

your claim was "that's not a fuckin thing in the least", so if they exist even in "weird places", your claim was wrong.
