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 guess we'll have to find a use for that new key on Linux, and Linux laptop vendors will end up with some alternative symbol for it...

Can't wait to accidentally press it while gaming, just like the Windows key!

They did this same thing with Mocrosoft Teams. Microsoft execs are some of the dumbest laziest people.
