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.

This is a joke, right? Like, this must be a satire making fun of stereotypical Linux users?
Nope
Dude I was giving you an out. You could've been all "haha just kidding" and saved some face.
You shouldn't try to force someone into liking something just because you like it. That's not okay. Especially when they've politely and repeatedly expressed disinterest. If all they do is web browsing and writing then why would they even need Linux?
?
You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.
