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.

Vivaldi is proprietary, FYI.
Many people are not activists like Richard Stallman. Perhaps it's better to run libre software, but it's perfectly reasonable to also run proprietary software.
For example, I switched to Linux when I could run proprietary games on Proton.
Agreed. I'd say that, if you have the option, then the libre option is the one you should pick whenever you can. But, realistically, software is a hammer, and you should pick the hammer that does what you want, and ignore the internet hollering that you're somehow impure if you use even a single piece of proprietary software.
