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.

Its toooo much bloat. There must be malware XD linux users at there peak!
Tbf 500ms latency on - IIRC - a loopback network connection in a test environment is a lot. It's not hugely surprising that a curious engineer dug into that.
Especially that it only took 300ms before and 800ms after
