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.

Nice attempt at spin but relies too much on readers having room temperature IQ to believe that's what my argument is. And just to be clear, by 'Nice attempt' I'm being sarcastic.
What kind of psycopath quotes the entire comment they're replying to? As if your opinions weren't enough of a red flag.
i think you're being a little rude.
Do you have an actual counter to my original argument or are you just going to throw vague insults at anyone who disagrees with you like everywhere else you've commented in this post?
As time goes by, you just learn to understand that some people are just not worth your time.
Also, you did not disagree with me because you didn't reply to any comment of mine. Oh, and there was nothing vague about the insult.
Cheers.

Look everybody, they only quoted a part of the comment. They're learning! Yay!
...I was on your side at the start but you really don't need to keep poking the bear.
Oh, you're not even the same person. All you've done here is poke bears that were already cowed.
"bear"? That's bit of an overstatement.
