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.

Very interesting research and write up - but holy fuck can we please find a way to share an article that is not cut into tiny snippets of text?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this

People need to realize that social media platforms are not always the best medium. Post a summary with the link to the rest of your information and I promise you anyone who's going to interact/show interest with your article is going to click that link.

This let's people be able to read your article without having to duct tape all of your post together to get the separation between posts, and allows for easier sharing of medium.
