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.

In Finland they have bilingual street signs. Where the majority is Finnish-speaking, the signs are in Finnish first and then in Swedish. And in places where the majority is Swedish-speaking they have signs in Swedish first, then in Finnish.
To the best of my understanding cultural "!identity" is nort relevant at all there, and nobody really cares.
