{ At this point it's best to start using a different kernel if you can. Consider BSD or Hurd maybe. ~drummyfish }
Linux (also Lunix or Loonix, named after its original creator [Linus Torvalds](linus_torvalds.md)) is a partially "[open-source](open_source.md)" [unix-like](unix_like.md) [operating system](operating_system.md) [kernel](kernel.md), probably the most successful "mostly [FOSS](foss.md)" kernel, nowadays already hijacked and milked by [capitalism](capitalism.md) and not worth using anymore. One of its greatest advantages was support of a lot of [hardware](hardware.md); it ran besides others on [x86](x86.md], [PowerPC](ppc.md), [Arm](arm.md), had many [drivers](driver.md) and could be compiled to be quite small so as to run well even on very weak computers. **Linux is NOT an operating system**, only its basic part -- for a whole operating system more things need to be added, such as some kind of [user interface](ui.md) and actual user programs (so called [userland](userland.md)), and this is what [Linux distributions](linux_distro.md) do (there hundreds of these) -- Linux distributions, such as [Debian](debian.md), [Arch](arch.md) or [Ubuntu](ubuntu.md) are complete operating systems (but beware, most of them are not fully [FOSS](foss.md)). The mascot of the project is a penguin named [Tux](tux.md) (under some vague non-standard [license](license.md)). Linux is one of the biggest collaborative programming projects, as of now it has more than 15000 contributors. Despite popular misconceptions **Linux is [proprietary](proprietary.md) software** by containing [binary blobs](binary_blob.md) (pieces of proprietary code sneakily inserted into obscure parts of the source code) -- completely free distributions have to use [forks](fork.md) that remove these (see e.g. [Linux-libre](linux_libre.md), [Debian](debian.md)'s Linux fork etc.). Linux is also **greatly [bloated](bloat.md)** (though not anywhere near [Windows](windows.md) and such) and **[tranny software](tranny_software.md)**, abusing technology as a vehicle for promoting [liberal politics](sjw.md). While back in the day Linux was one of the coolest projects, by 2024 **Linux is absolute shit** and basically dead, it has [code of censorship](coc.md), it's been absolutely hijacked by capitalism, developed by the worst corporations and fascist political groups ([feminists](feminism.md), [LGBT](lgbt.md), ...), it is greatly overcomplicated for the sake of keeping a [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md), commercialized, full of [Rust](rust.md) code; there are already even backdoor popping in (see the 2024 XZ scandal), basically it's almost unusable now. The spirit, significance, journey and eventual fate of Linux are similar to e.g. [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) -- initially a project of freedom later on couldn't resist the immense capitalist pressure and eventually started selling its popularity to evil entities, becoming the opposite of its past self.

[Fun](fun.md) note: there is a site that counts certain words in the Linux source code, https://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount. For the lulz in 2019 some word counts were: "fuck": 16, "shit": 33, "idiot": 17, "retard": 4, "hack": 1571, "todo": 6166, "fixme": 4256.
