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.

From the picture, it's just the context menu key with a new key cap.

That's still a new key for some people. My laptop doesn't have a context key, for example.

Aaaaah. I really, really wanted to complain about the excessive amount of keys.

(My comment above is partially a joke - don't take it too seriously. Even if a new key was added it would be a bit more clutter, but not that big of a deal.)
