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.

Oh I know, whenever he sends out an email for an update to the web-app I react with a “😢” in outlook every time because he’ll just push updates without having anyone test them.
This is not a software company at all, lately he decided to write his own PDF editor and switch out the one he found on GitHub for it, well the folks in the shop certainly weren’t happy to find out they couldn’t print drawings anymore or that mobile devices had poor compatibility with it.
This person is a clown and shouldn't be allowed near any production stuff.
I would bet top dollar that he pushed back on Linux because it scares him.
