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.

Lol, sure...
Other countries don't pay India lip service because it's a large 3rd world country poised to become the newest sweatshop of the developed world...
It's because they respect a space program who retroactively changes their goals and tells their uneducated masses that everything was a resounding success.
Just like "any day now" for the last 30 years they are going to become a world leader.
My country once successfully launched 104 satellites with a single rocket. And this guy really believes we can't build a secure linux distro because we're nothing more than a "3rd world country poised to become the newest sweatshop of the developed world". Wow, okay dude.
Hey, another example of India doing something that makes no logical sense just for the PR and then gullible people thinking that just because no one else has done it, no one else could have!
Man, you all are making this easy
Only 2 of those 104 satellites were Indian. Rest all were foreign satellites. In fact 96 of them were from the USA. But yeah, obviously all these foreign satellites satellites serve no purpose whatsoever. Obviously they were launched just so ISRO could score some PR points 😂
There is absolutely nothing impressive about launching 104 satellites in one go. What would be truly impressive is building a linux distro, amirite?
