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.

It matters a lot.
Agreed.
Doesn't matter what you give a fuck.
Linux was much different back then and changed multiple times over the course of its existence.
I do not believe that Linus disregarded every single negative aspect. He still expresses his issues with it if there are. Linus was always pragmatic and practical thinking. From his perspective it is just a tool, like a compiler is.
What is a cuckcoder? (I start thinking with your language and choice of words in both replies, that you have a dick problem.)
Cuck coder is an evolution of vibe coding because the programmer watches a LLMs do its job.
There is a meme on Lemmy from a week or two ago that explains the development of cuck-coder.
