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 used to write reviews for restaurants on goog many years ago. recently i've gotten mails from google, saying they had been contacted by restaurants who claim they don't know me and my review is fraudulent. google wants me to prove i had been there (7 years ago, paid cash) or they'll delete the review. so all my reviews are gone, as well as any trust in that content. google reviews are garbage.

Is there an alternative you can recommend that you feel is more honest?
