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)

Interesting because libertarians are for FOSS as they are against IP. (It is not real property). Libertarians also like to degoogle as they like privacy. Libertarians are against corporations as they are not a free market creation.

I have trouble imagining ever being proud of being a communist. It's right up there with all the bad things in society.

Changing your entire personality and opinions like that is a giant red flag.
