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.

This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn't gonna happen. If it were that easy, we'd have done it already!
We may have to coexist with them from a logistical standpoint but we do not have to tolerate them. The paradox of tolerance is that we must not tolerate the intolerant.
