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.

Here, fixed it for you so the analogies to the apple example are not completely wrong:

"Cars should have more seatbelts!" "Yet you buy from brand X who refuses to provide belts and lobbies against belts, you could buy Y instead!"

"We should improve our society. (Said by a rich provileged person)" "Yet you don't push back against horrible practices, just talk a bit and otherwise enjoy your privilege."
