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.

I don't have any idea what you're on about and I want to call you rude.
Because he deleted it. It was a comment about KDE 4 being a huge step backward, 5 being great, and being worried about 6 because of announcements of features being removed. He went overboard and abused his moderator access in an act of retaliation for something that was never really about him, which now makes it about him.
