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.

Like everyone deep down is just a bigot (self-inferred I assume?), and some people just have the social skills to hide that better

Basically this. Yes. This is how socialization works. This is also how a society works.

I have no problem with Vaxry since I don't know him personally. I don't think we could be friends, based on what he says online. But to me this is absolutely irrelevant when it comes to using the software he maintains.

Well I've got news for you, that's just some bullshit theory bigots come up with to justify their shitty attitude.
