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 don't think throwing a fit and it being a hissy fit are the same thing.

~~the things people will debate online~~

edit: I beefed it on this one. They were being normal and I misunderstood. Note to self to think before typing in the future.

Throwing a fit can mean getting angry. It being a hissy fit would mean the cause was something childish and not serious.

I'm not trying to debate it, if you look I'm the one who originally wrote the comment so I'm trying to explain what I meant.
