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.

It is also one of the useful office suites that provide a native Linux experience, but sadly, it is neither free nor open-source...

That's a hard no from me, big shoots.

Don’t know how this is related to FOSS or Linux at all. It is not free of charge/free software and I don’t get why a site called "itsfoss" is even writing about it.
