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.

@BaalInvoker get rid of the major telecoms companies who spy on us all
Ah, ok. You're just paranoid.
Guess what. If your data pass through any node, ISP or not, you can be spied.
"paranoid" assumes that it's unjustified suspicion of someone or something. However it's a well known fact that ISPs may spy on users as it's been exposed to happen in the past...
@BaalInvoker not paranoid, beyond observation, straight up control over who gets access and not. CBDC social credit system depends on centralized structures
