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.

Hundreds? Why? I never have more than like ten, and each time I open my browser I start with none
Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:
Fair points, though what advantage does keeping unloaded tabs serve over using bookmarks?
Personally, I can't use bookmarks because if they're out of sight, they get forgotten. Keeping things in an open tab is like having the browser constantly bugging me to remind me that I have to do this thing. It doesn't guarantee that it gets addressed in a timely manner, but with the alternative it's guaranteed to not be done at all.
It also helps to keep my place in my work. There's things that I'll always have open because I need quick access to them and don't want the friction of trying to find the page to lead to procrastination. Same with anything that's relevant to work in progress.
