An OS used by geeks who want to escape proprietary software, and who have the computer power to fix everything that goes wrong by themselves. It is used heavily on servers, probably including the Urban Dictionary one.
I have a linux server in the basement, a linux computer to work on, and a windows computer to shout at.

1. An operating system kernel originally created by Linus Torvalds. The Linux kernel is often bundled with GNU software, and this combination is known as GNU/Linux.
2. (colloquially) Any of the many desktop and server operating systems built on top of the Linux kernel, commonly bundled with a package manager and handy preloaded software. ChromeOS is commonly excluded, as the system is extremely locked down, unlike the typical desktop Linux distribution.
