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.

I didn't say it was just "tankies" but you previously said

Couldn’t care less about regular communists. Tankies on the other hand…

After I called you a McCarthyist.

You know, you don't have to fail at doing gotchas, you can just recognize you're an anti-communist like McCarthy and stop.

Slowly, this time.

I believe in you.

Does this type of smuglord behavior make you feel smart?
