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 some cases it is. Using google, or voice assistants, or chatgpt might be convenient for you, it might even make you the most productive you can be, but it's also supporting their platform and any associated bad practices.
I don't have any issues with using proprietary or closed source software, but that doesn't mean you should always use the best tool available. Because, you see, the real world isn't black and white 😉.
