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.

If there was ever a better string of words to get me to watch a video
Intriguing...
[goes to watch the video]
Indeed! Not a copycat or anything like that, but really similar good-spirited style of presentation. And very good content!
subbed..
I like the quotes she put up on the screen about Canonical and System76.
I've kept coming back to Ubuntu over the years, but ultimately, they are a corporation, and they need to satisfy their shareholders. Someday they will likely be bought out, then who knows?

As we all did with winxp, hangout and even facebook, and yeah a whole slew of stuff that did seem nice at one moment.
The next moment it wasn't there any more in the way we liked it!
FOSS on the other hand is here to stay.
I've never seen her before, but it was a solid and relatable video. Does anyone have any others that they'd particularly recommend?
