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.

For the longest time people wondered: how do bees fly and don't bump into each other? There are so many of them!
To find out, people used high speed cameras, and then they were shocked by the fact that bees actually do bump into each other.
Isn't it ridiculous that we just take our assumptions on something we have no idea about as facts?
Yeah, not my brightest one, that's for sure. Still, idk about what manu distros everyone is talking about. Big distros utilise volunteer-run mirrors, from what I've been able to find.
Updoot for cool bee fact. <3
