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.

Good point about the imprecision. On the other hand most Linux desktop users are Normie's, think Steam deck and so on.
Some of the most popular Linux desktops are built for ordinary people with the KISS principle in mind. Not arch using tinkerers
I'm not saying nobody should work on this. There is obviously demand or at least big tech is assuming demand. I'm just saying it's not surprising to me a lot of Foss developers don't really care.
I used ubuntu until a few weeks ago, where I switched to Pop OS. In this sense, I might be close to the "normies". Yet, I am incredibly skeptical of AI.
It's distinct.
Jesus fuck what a statement. Your parents probably regret having you.
That's not the tone I like to read even as an answer to a statement I don't agree with. No need to get that personal.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD
You don't know that.
