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.

Maybe there's some problem with the links? If I click the image or the title of your post I only get redirected to an image.

OP has multiple fediverse accounts and posted the same thing to communities on all of them. Either they're deliberately spamming, or they don't really understand how this stuff works yet.
