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.

Yup. It’s the reason why Denmark is the most developed country in North America as Canada and the United States worship the aristocrats’ bullshit too much.

Did you seriously just name Denmark a country in North America?!

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Denmark shares a land border with Canada on Hans Island also France shares a maritime border with Canada.

You can't seriously call them "countries in North America" though, that's just ridiculous.
