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 feel like the 8 is either a typo or some joke I'm not recursive enough to understand

Look at the crossed 0 in the list. It was supposed to be 0 and someone botched the reading.

Maybe it was intentionally wrong so people reading it might notice and learn the mistake?
