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.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

No. I think the comment I replied to was supposed to mean that the person had issues with seeing sexual stuff everywhere. I disagreed because in this case porn creation is a legitimate concern.

That's not discussed in the article though, I think they were just seeing a (not really that) phallic logo

Oh ok I really didn't see that.
