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.

@Bro666@lemmy.kde.social See that? Someone else dissing on "the fiasco" known as KDE 4 within the first 30 seconds of their excited statement about the upcoming KDE Plasma 6. You want to rush over there and call them rude? Want to rush over there and proactively ban them from your joke of a KDE lemmy channel and instance that cannot tolerate feedback? You stood up for KDE 4, "Bro"... you're on the wrong side of history. Now, go do your wounded pride thing and tell him to go code it for himself. Go on. It's your one move.

I don't have any idea what you're on about and I want to call you rude.
