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.

I'm pretty sure this article is a really bad attempt at satire. Or if there is a point, maybe it's that... the fact that there have been things in the past that are not just fads (like SQL), that means that current things that are fads (like blockchain) are in fact not just fads?
I feel like this might have been written by ChatGPT and some intern quickly organized the results into sections and called it an article.
It honestly crossed my mind - but I am not sure even ChatGPT would miss understand what a fad was so badly.
Wouldn't surprise me.
