Linux

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.

yeah I remember that guy, I stopped watching his linux channel during the pandemic as soon as he called it "plandemic". It looks like it just got worst from there.

Stopped following that dweeb during the start of the pandemic as his reviews, which were usually calm started to get angrier and angrier for no good reason. StL it pretty much the typical angry alt-right lunatic.

Some dude is supposedly spreading FUD about Linux under a very popular search term "Switch To Linux" and is allegedly antivax, racist, anti-queer, and probably a few other things.

It is one of those long videos about some other person's misdeeds.
