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.

Just like real CPU stickers :P
I have been using the same CPU for half a decade. Not everyone is an impulse buyer.
Idk, ~five years doesn't seem like a long time with regards to CPUs. I had my Ryzen 2200G from summer 2018 to this January, and I would consider my purchase of a cheap Ryzen 3600 to be a bit premature (and it was definitely an impulse purchase). And it also means that the CPU sticker became outdated pretty soon.
Fair enough. :D
