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.

So. We just encourage ignorance and security threats so we.. can.. be .. better than them? I don't think that's the healthiest outlook ...
What we really need is to improve the technical literacy (and overall education too) of the general public. That will help towards solving many other issues as well.
By all means, Linux’s UX should be improved as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of freedom or functionality, but we need to improve as people too.
Wut?
Are seriously that obtuse.? Why would Anyone think any better of your conversation when that is the level of discourse you bring?
"Wut? " What a classic symptom of the dumbing down of society, but you go ahead and keep feeling superior
"Wut". Way to make yourself look less than literate.
In any case I'm done with this. Have a good day
