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.

Are you having a stroke or something? Do you need help?
Looking at OP's writing pattern (and the smaller details of their screenshot), English likely isn't their first language. They probably meant to say something else.
I can't read their mind, but I think maybe they were trying to say that they experienced some friction with some kind of setup they had.
Or I'm having a stroke. I have a family history of that.
No, I'm fine.
