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.

This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:
That's why the first Oracle database is v2.

this is what happened to windows 9, too.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with
9*as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.What’s wrong with 9 though ? Didn’t iPhone also skip 9 ?
but the X is a Roman numeral hence why Apple demands that OSX be pronounced as "OS ten"
(I have not heard anyone who is not an Apple employee call it that but it's the official stance, you can look it up)
Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)
That's a fun fact
Slackware went from version 4 to 7 for a similar reason. But IIRC its reason was RedHat.
