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.

Seems very plausible. The title just puts me off.

I hear ya. I really wish we could go back to the good old days of "who ordered the extra large sausage pizza" and " I'm here to check your plumbing, ma'am".

Yeah I mean if you’re going to make weird fetish stuff, do it I just hate that some videos that I might enjoy watching are kind of ruined for me just by the title.
