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.

Why put this much effort in trying to getting banned? Is making up a story based on the headline a creative writing exercise for you?

I'm not sure why you would ban someone for having an opinion. I don't agree with it but they don't deserve to be censored.

Just making shit up for ragebait is trolling my friend, it's not having an opinion. What he posted has no relation to the interview.

I'm not sure what the benefit of posting something to try to get down votes. The person obviously has a opinion that is unpopular. I've heard the Office argument before from others.
