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 seem to be way more people that keep saying that they hate Arch users who keep saying that they use Arch than Arch users that keep saying that they use Arch.

It is like vegan hate. For every vegan that aggressively pushes their ethics on others, there are like 1000 people who want nothing more than to do something to offend vegans.
