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.

Linux is pretty popular tho
I'm not sue if ypu wrote this out of spite or as issues that need to be solved. If the first, mods should kick you out; if the second, you should probably rethink those arguments.. Start from the title. Linux never took off? Linux took off in 1991 and hasn't stopped growing since... Maybe you mean just the desktop?
DId you mean to reply to me? I am guessing not but wanted to make sure.
Sorry confused first time on lemmur. It was supposed to be a reply to the main thread
No problem
These are issues that need to be solved.
