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.

I couldnt really care less about my chefs personal view as long as the meal is ok.

Cool. But some other people have morals, and wouldn't wish to give a chef some money if he, for example, wanted to exterminate minority groups.

Maybe you'd turn a blind eye and say "well, I'm not in danger from him, so why should I care? I just want food." but don't be surprised when people think you're a cunt because of it.

Come on, that's a far stretch. What the person said does not imply that they don't have morals.

don’t be surprised when people think you’re a cunt because of it.

Maybe no one should be, especially on the internet ;-)

It definitely implies that. If you'd give literal Nazis your patronage, you probably lack morals.

Honestly, it surprises me that you'd be fine giving money to Nazis. Kinda weird.
