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.

When you did this, and your doorbell rang, was it a group of penguins, or japanese businessmen that said "Wii would like to play"?
In court...
Ha ha ha. Did they really do another commercial with the same concept, but in court?
I believe you. I just never saw it. That's wild though....
I believe the joke is that Nintendo are aggressively litigious.
Wii
.....yeah. Thats what I said.
I can't tell if you got it or not, so just in case, I'm pretty sure OP was making a Wii/Oui joke.
I wonder if they dug further into the bit and we just missed it lol
