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.

Ignoring requests with thousands of posts, or even pull requests where the changes are already implemented
"No. I won't add tabs, it's better UX to have separate windows"
"No, I won't allow the user to save the password, even if it's local or not important"
"All the temporary shit will be saved on the hardcoded directory ~/.fuckyou and not /tmp"
get lucky you can patch shit out or in
.fuckyou 😂😂
A recent bugbear of mine has been hardcoded icons.
