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.

Get that homophobia out if here
I didn't think that being murdered by Putin's thugs is specifically Homophobic, but do let us know in the comments.

It seems pretty clear that the negative implication is putin's regime abusing his authority for sexual favors (especially given all the mass rapes by russian forces in ukraine...) and not that said favors are bad because theyre gay. It's telling that they assumed it was based in homophobia, though.
Of course there was and it is why their comment was removed.
That is of course a homophobic insult
Get that homophobia out of here.
