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.

I completely agree. In the current context it's important to note that I have a cs degree and you too probably and way better than me. But some people don't know how to use computers and that's fine. They just like to surf or play games. I think when you are troubleshooting your pc, it's fine. That's my position.
What you are saying I think is completely different discussion. I know people that you are referring to and you cannot change them. Some people love ignorance but yeah I agree it's impacting a lot of people but I don't think it's a ai issue, it's a people issue.
