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.

But to upvote you have to see the post. So who would upvote the post if it's old and buried under 3 years worth of posts if the system didn't put it the active feed for some reason? Furthermore, If it would be a one off I would understand, but now there are 12 out of 20 posts that are older than 1 year on the front page when you sort it by "Active". The oldest one (4 years) have one comment from the same time. It's some kind of bug. It has to be.
