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 think the Russians that would want to backdoor stuff would just use a name like John.

Error 500 can't upload the image but check these names for ideas on your next Russian puppet account:

Edit...I wasn't calling HIM a Russian troll. I was suggesting to use these names the next time AnYONE makes a Russian puppet account. Sorry, language.

No I'm getting error 500 when trying to upload a photo. So I linked an imgur of what I was trying to to reference. It's from a Japanese baseball game they marketed in America.
