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.

Here's some more excerpts from the book that I found amusing:
"Anti-establishment" isn't the word I'd use, but I guess that fits.
That hasn't been true since 2017.
Okay, I'll admit this is good advice if we're talking about "freeware", but there's also free/libre/open-source software, which has all of the benefits of freeware, and also gives you the freedom to read/mofify/share the source code, if you wish.
As for that "malware" you speak of, you might as well be describing Google Chrome.
Clearly, these people haven't heard of VLC.
It actually stands for "coder/decoder".
And that's just one page...
The "best-case scenario" is adware or malware. Someone didn't get hugged as a child.
