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.

Could you link to information on this -specifically on any work debunking it. I can’t seem to find any in the usual places, in fact googling shows stuff like https://youtu.be/NrzseZQotu4?si=1rQtbo9mwfAEt4sL which seems to corroborate the weirder claims. I suppose the channel might be part of it.
Having said that, this sure feels like a troll and it would be pretty funny if it were. Thanks!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
