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.

Indeed. I used to have a circle of friends/acquaintances that had a huge number of vegans and vegetarians. I can honestly say I have encountered literally 0 vegans or vegetarians ever mention it unless food was being served. But if food is being served,,,I mean...you really can't avoid having to tell everyone.
On the other hand, I have witnessed a huge number of meat-eaters become insecurely defensive, aggressive, bullying, harrassing as soon as anybody mentions that they don't eat meat.
No, thank you.
No, thanks.
Nah, don't want to have that.
See the thing is I'm a vegan, so none of the things you've offered would work, and I don't want to burden you, so it's okay, I'll have something on my way back.
Yes, these chocolate biscuits aren't vegan. Thanks for trying, but it's okay, I'll manage.
