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.

He's a kiwi? A had no idea. Mainly because I can understand him (English isn't my first language and your accent is bloody hard).
He is an Aussie I believe.
(I'm the kiwi ;))
I am starting to able to tell the accents apart, but just barely. So... 🤷♂️
Can you tell a Canadian apart from a northern American?
Basically the same amount of difference. (There is one)
Sometimes yes, often not. But I can tell apart Brits, Oceanian, American, African and Indian most of the time. I have a hard time telling apart Scots and Irish, mainly because I can't understand a thing they say at all.
