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.

There's a ton of linux rant channels with a following, so there is a market for them
I don't wanna copy them, I have other topics I think they are untouched and it would be nice to start a conversation about them. for example "why the normies complain about the proprietary apps they use but then when you suggest something better they just brush it off" ("I hate facebook messenger, its buggy as hell", "try signal then", "no.") thats one example of the stuff I will cover, basically very obscure topics, that nobody have covered yet
