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.

i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i'm usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).
PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: "nmtui that does not rape your eyes."
Thank you, OP.
Thanks!
What culture is that? I wasn't aware such a thing existed.
Probably a Scandinavian country if I had to guess.
It is more likely that you are just not aware of it.
