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.

Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

Uh, I have been using Linux for 7 years and I'm pretty conservative. Don't associate Linux with corrupt communist ideals

corrupt communist ideals

The corrupt ideals of not killing our planet for profit

I guess killing off millions does save the planet some pollution. But thats not a very ideal way of pollution control, is it?

100million people die every 5 years to easily preventable causes under capitalism. But since it doesn't directly affect your day to day you just ignore it entirely because you're comfortable, while attacking the thing that would change it.

Ask a right winger to describe the horrors of communism and they'll describe capitalism every single time

if you track down the source where you got that notion in your head it probably includes dead nazis on the eastern front as deaths caused by communism.
