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.

Why the downvotes? This guy wanted something else. What's wrong with that? In fact, I believe it opens up room for healthy discussion.
Why even care about downvotes? He just wanted to share his thought and he did it. It wont affect him in anyway. I mean give this comment a 100 downvotes. Do I care? No.
It doesn't matter in this (as of now) unpopular thread. But it does matter for the Fediverse culture. Downvoting takes posts to the bottom, it drives attention away. Driving attention away from a post that promotes healthy discussion is the opposite of what the Fediverse is all about.
I see. In a greater scope it potentially hides a healthy discussion and thats unhealthy. I agree. Sorry ihad it so narrow. I didnt know that.
Im not playing this feels like its a great realization for my life too thank you for this
