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.

There might be some guilt feelings involved in the uproar.
But science is very clear that in order to keep a somewhat livable climate, we have to massively reduce CO2 emissions. This is a hard requirement. A planet Earth with 3 degrees warming will not be liveable for most humans.
The GenAI hype goes exactly into the wrong direction. We have to reduce, not increase. It is a civilisatory no go.
It is clear that as a society, and moreover in a plutocratic system where the richest people are deeply invested in fossil fuels, we are in deep internal conflict. But we cannot avoid this conflict. If we continue to let it happen, fossil fuels will kill us.
