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 you think I'm arguing here that they're gonna go away then please, please, please, go take a reading comprehension class.
I'm arguing Linus's point that smart people use LLMs is a piss take that shows zero understanding of the world around him. That's it.
I just also happen to wish LLMs would go away for moral and ecological reasons.
That itself is a piss take from you. What projects have you used LLM's in for code assist activities (and I'm not talking vibecode slop)?
