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.

The real reason is people don't wanna change, or hear it. They would rather plug their ears.

Don't you think you should add this as a comment or edit to your previous post instead of creating a new one?

[–] Brattea@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

No, because this is now the only reason.

You made some good points but some were non issues and some were just political stuff that doesn't have any baring on improving FOSS, most people don't use Free Software, Open Source is just more accessible.

FOSS is political tho. that was the original goal read stallman.org
