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 might want to actually read the article, cause that's completely missing the point of the program, and ignoring all context. As with all things, context matters.

It's a free market though. You can just buy from the wonderful companies that are Dell or Lenovo instead. Don't try to look to closely at them, or you won't be able to but a laptop ever again.

I did actually read the article and I did not miss the point even a little bit.
