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.

Russia literally invaded everyone around them. Look at all the former USSR counties.

The US has been involved in a lot of places but that's not a justification for Russia attacking its neighborhood.

Does Russia invading Ukraine justify the US invading Iraq?

Though we are discussing individuals here, should we ban Americans in projects to maintain moral integrity?

BTW are you referring to historical (pre 1990) expansion as well? Because an American really shouldn't want to go there.

How to say you're historically illiterate without saying so. Go read up on how USSR was formed clown.

27 million Soviets died liberating these people from the Nazis, and this is the thanks they get.

I hope this is sarcasm but the way this post is going I don’t know.
