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.

I love Linux but this is a huge pain point for me with Linux. Just tell me actual errors like a professional OS would.
It does tell you the actual error, though. Following it up with "Good luck" isn't particularly professional but removing it would just make the message more boring, not any clearer.
IIRC the person who added that didn't add it as a joke but as a genuine thing.
