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)
I have trouble imagining ever being proud of being a communist. It's right up there with all the bad things in society.
Wow. Im pretty centerist on capitalism and I have been using linux since about 2000 or so.
I used linux for about the same time and i still think communsim is for genocide deniers
Uh, I have been using Linux for 7 years and I'm pretty conservative. Don't associate Linux with corrupt communist ideals
I am a full blown capitalist, and I despise google and the entire online ad industry and its tracking, I'd say all of my apps (except for games) are foss or atleast somewhat open source
This is the Linux content I was looking for. So relevant and insightful to Linux itself. Like, wow, this is so much better and so much less insufferable than Reddit’s userbase, amirite, guys? It’s so refreshing seeing the same ideology leaking into literally every community, the diversity is so nice to see, like, wow, yes.
What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.
Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?
dont get too attached to that computer where you installed it, under communism is no longer yours.
