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.

It’s actually an example of something that doesn’t work so anarcho communism
Pretty much all of the internet and most appliances run Linux. If you are actually taking the comparison seriously it would say that it does work.
EDIT: Or BSD, but the same holds true for it as well.
not to mention Android and iOS are essentially gnu/linux...
(different kernels but, still)

Isn't Linux more like a benevolent dictatorship. At least the kernel development.
A lot of magic can happen when scarcity vanishes, or is ephemeralized.
