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.

And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I'm a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn't give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little "positivity or praise" for Linux.
I mean... This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn't the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me
Good to know.
Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?
Deep, complex reasons
Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?
Like I feel that you're missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most "leopards ate my face" post in this community and yet it's being upvoted because "hooray tribalism" over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.
Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?
Just because it's low priority doesn't mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes
Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to
Lol, it's being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it's pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by
