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 think it makes sense to determine what is or isn't political by measuring the amount of politicality either. What makes something political is that some people say it's political. And since I'm a person and I say that everything on Earth is political, that makes it so. QED.
Hahaha. I mean, sure. You are entitled to have your own definition, just the same way I'm entitled to having mine.
In mine, "someone saying it's political" is not what makes something political. I think I already talked about that. Let's agree to disagree :P
We do agree that measuring the amount of "politicallity" makes no sense. So at least there's that.
