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 do these exist? And I mean all those religious book reading applications collectively. Browsing through f-droid it feels like every third beginner's project is a Bible-, Torah- or Koran-reading app.

The short answer is they were indoctrinated from a very (too) young age to center their existence on it for no other tangible reason than that's what happened to their parents.

Edit: what a shock, objective fact gives the indoctrinated a big mad. 🙄
