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.

Haha, noob. My distro is the best distro and everybody should be using it because nobody has a different use case and expectation anyway. My terminal skills are unrivalled, your mouse is blocking your progress to true productive greatness. My automated installation runs faster than you can download your proprietary drivers. I use imagemagick instead of gimp for its speed and user friendliness. Vim is the only editor you ever need. Do you even internet without your own email server? I rather install rpm's on arch than use flatpack.
//The linux endboss needs to be a meme. We could make chuck norris level jokes about him.
Gentoo? LFS?
Yes. One is obviously running in a kvm of the other. Both nailed down with grsec hardening and selinux and chroot jails everywhere a noob would use a container. The main filesystem is a readonly squashfs on raid1.
Any more ideas for the most hellish linux system we can create for our enemies?
