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.

No reason to strawman. And anyway yes linux is not that recent.
Facebook is full of this thrash and it's one of the reasons I avoid it. Lemmy has its own content which is better
This is not a strawman. I'm not misrepresenting your argument. I'm highlighting you're being a negative fuck and there are other places for that.
Boomers don't know what Linux is, they can barely use computers. I wouldn't know one that would understand a meme about Linux.
Seems you're going to be negative and double down.
I'm mostly with you about the negativity being unwelcome here, but I just have to point out: Richard Stallman is a boomer. Boomers literally created Linux from whole cloth.
Ageism is also negativity. Please try to avoid it.
Yes. I'm pretty sure Stallman isn't on Facebook. Doesn't even browse with JS enabled.
I do agree but I cannot say many in the demographic are on Lemmy...
