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.

Considering he seems to be under the impression that OCR still sucks enough that he printed his entire letter, he's probably not aware of recent computer stuff , (or he just writes like he's 11, I guess?)
Seems a bit excessive of a judgement - under the best of conditions, my cursive is an absolute horror show. Always has been, and I’ve zero need for it with any frequency.
Suffice it to say, he’s not writing under the best of conditions. If you’d like to judge the content/intent, that’s your prerogative. But the quality of his penmanship is an utter irrelevancy.
