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.

Not really true though. They are loosing money on the subscriptions, because people use it way more then they thought. So using on Orem AI could still be insany expensive.

It's not way more than they thought because it's within the limits they set for the subscriptions. They wouldn't have set the limits that high if they didn't think people would use it.
