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.

Oh you're young, sorry for the offensive wording. I saw you're programming and trying technology out - good on you! I hope you'll never lose your excitement about technology.
It's quite a political thing, but I am sure you'll find your way around it.
I know everything about the current status of open source, I've read about Richard Stallman, about how he dislikes the word open source, but what we need to understand is that all software can be nice, nya!! And it's ok I forgive you meow.
may I ask, how much anime do you watch?
