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.

Yeah, its so easy to trash against Linux as a whole giant one thing, just because there is a kernel in your System called Linux.

Ah shit, Linux is so trash! I can't even put the taskbar at the top or install a normal Firefox as Default browser! Ah wait... thats just ChromeOS
