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.

The page title isn't necessarily visible on the web page that sets the title.

Clicking is not always a simple task.

I shouldn't have to leave my current page just to figure out what another tab is.

Again, just because you feel something is useless or easily avoided doesn't mean that all internet users feel the same.
