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.

They owned up to it, and immediately dealt with the issue.
It's open source, free, and run by volunteers who bust their asses to make these releases happen. I wouldn't worry too much about it if it's been working the other 99% of the time for you, and this one issue has you on the fence about it...
CLIphobia is a new one to me.
A lot of people on here are new to the ecosystem 🤷
Some of us also are just tired of administering the system and just want to use some applications.
