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)

Exactly, people must remain completely static. Don't change, its a red flag.

But also, people who don't change their opinion when they learn new information (at least when it's something I agree with), that's a red flag too.

Really, the only way to not get a red flag here is to already go into things believing the exact same thing I do, and refusing to ever change that when faced with new data.
