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.

Truthfully I feel like this too sometimes. I get he made it and I understand that but what happened to the "community" and "open" part of it why does this dude get to call all the shots on everything related to Linux.
Reminds me of Satya Nadella with Windows. (Even though he didn't invent it but calls the shots just the same way.)
