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.

While I agree, there are other reasons to hate on them even if they improved in one place... Deceptive marketing, melting cards, poor vender management, etc

Yeah, but their competitors are not doing much better in those regards either. The whole graphics card industry is doing shitty stuff, hell most mega corps are these days.
