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.

No. It's an unfunny and retarded "meme" that is overused by redditors. And this obviously isn't related to the steve ballmer rant. They just use the same template with any subject.
Just because you ain't got the braincells to make the connection doesn't mean others can't.
Speaking of overuse, you sure are using the r-word liberally for someone who couldn't get the joke. Or is it one of those "I'm black therefore I can use the N-word" kind of things?
Fucking retard. The subject of this post is cancer. That is all. You think you're smart for overthinking the connection.
Why yes, that slur does apply to me! You see, I have autism and don't take particularly kindly to that slur.
Unlike you though, I actually have to tell people before they know there's something wrong with me. Because, again unlike you, I can act like a normal human being. As opposed to acting like a 5 year old that just learned the r-word. Sorry, I can tell you need an explanation for these things!
Haha wow you are so cool
They are certainly cooler than you and I can tell that from three really stupid messages, you aren't on Reddit anymore pal!
What do you have to gain from being this rude to strangers and using slurs against them? This behavior is legitimately antisocial, and unless you're literally 13 years old it's inexcusable.
