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.

To quote the author himself:
But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn't use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.
Another fool who thinks I'm a guy
Another fool that thinks using “he” in English to refer to an unknown third-party implies knowledge of the gender.
Your short reply here is as self-important and ignorant as you longer post.
"He" hasn't been used in such a way since the 1800s, like your software choices.
