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.

Oh, does he still exist? I've blocked his channels, because he is simply not trustworthy. Everything he makes is at best infomercials. He's a sellout.
Edit:
To those who downvote, really?
It's been so obvious already years ago, that his reviews depend heavily on who advertises with him. He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn't say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once...
Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn't deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!
He was revealed to have behaved like an asshole all the way. But go ahead and support him if you want.
I mean, even if he's legit, I tried so hard to watch and I just am too old and too slow for all the three-second cuts. Are people's attention spans truly this short now? It feels hypermanic.
Videos anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes at an anxiety inducing attention disorder riddled pace. Yet all the information can usually be boiled down to a 5 to 10 minute read. It makes no sense. But actually it does because these "infuencers" are modern day infomercial salesmen. The point is to keep you watching so eventually you'll be persuaded to purchase product. Unfortunately I think probably anyone under maybe 25-30 has no clue wtf an infomercial is so the analogy is lost on those who could use it the most.
