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.

Freeze peach doesn't mean you can call people "fag"s. By using that word you're 1. insulting those who express their gender as they wish 2. calling us names

Also, my point is that there is precedent for laws to geopolitcally restrict open source. I agree that there is a real security issue.

The issue is you are not reading it or reading without understanding context.

If your issue here is the use of the term, thats a you issue.

You cant even articulate the issue tho beyond dont like usage of the word, period.

You tried to suggest i was calling somebody else this term but ... I wasnt

Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of "soyboy"
