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.

Well, if you bothered to read the text on the image, you would have found your answer.

Oh sure, defending people who aren't even willing to read the text of the post while also attacking the one who complains about that circumstance is better, right?

Well, although usually it's a good idea to read the original post first, in this instance the original post is at best misleading because it refers to Plasma as an "operating system" rather than a desktop environment.

(Or for those who want to use even more precise terminology: its full name is either "Plasma Desktop" or "KDE Plasma Desktop", because KDE also has some non-desktop environments such as Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen... none of which are as popular as Plasma Desktop, though, so usually Plasma Desktop is colloquially called just "Plasma".)

I never said anything regarding the truth of the original posts claim; it's just irritating when people start asking questions without even reading what was initially written.
