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.

The source for this is ultimately a social media post by someone @bark.lgbt.
Not exactly impartial.
Why does it matter if it's impartial or not? Just go read the thread on Ubuntu discourse if you want to verify the information? It's all there. The mod fucked up. Simple as that. It's good that someone brought this to light.
Lol.
Everyone is partial or biased in some way. What's your point? Do you seriously believe that all the information you consume is impartial?
No really, what difference it make if the source is impartial if you can verify on your own that what they said is true?
The true changes if the source is impartial or not?
