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.

You’re right, no fun allowed 😤
Install the stick up your ass immediately. It is the law.
Lol it was "fun" two days ago when all the outlets originally wrote about it. Now it just feels like the headline might as well be, "heh, remember how we all laughed at that thing two days ago?"
Doesn't seem necessary to bring it up again for 6.6.7 any more than it will for 6.7.6 or 7.6.6. I'm not really familiar with the outlet though, maybe they make a headline for every minor patch release.
You must be fun at parties. Why not just ignore it and move on? It's a one off thing you won't see it again.
Wanted to talk to people about it on the internet. Fuck me, I guess.
I'm with you. Not even necessarily with your original comment, but I have also had the experience of making a mild complaint and being dogpiled by people who are somehow super butthurt about it. It's weird. They could have read your comment and moved on like they are demanding you do.
Has got to be the most insipid thing a human has ever said
You must be fun at parties.
That's sounds like something someone who is unfun at parties would say.
Then I'm 100% proud of it. Parties are very overrated anyhow
