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.

As an Indian, I never ask someone to help me set up my Linux, understand its usage, or troubleshoot any issues. Instead, I read the entire wiki or search the web to find a solution on my own. If I still can't find any help, I move on and forget about that.

And if you do ask someone, your grammar is on point.
