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.

What do you base that on?
Not saying you’re wrong, but I can’t see that you’re right.
90% of this is usually based on knowing where on the keyboard the "–"-key is located and using it correctly over hyphens...
The best part is, the post doesn't even contain em dashes, it's just multiple minus signs (
--vs—)Multiple dashes and 'rules of three' throughout the text makes it seem generated
The rule of three is a common rhetorical device.
And multiple dashes is a common way for a human to type an em dash. I’ve been writing like that since the early nineties.
I don’t sound like an LLM. LLMs sound like me.
