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.

You seriously think that the US are not warmongering?

My point was, that your enemy might be in your ranks. Some of your dotzend secret services might have other goals than the interests of the common people. It's rarely only black and white.

Btw, didn't they ask Linus to include a backdoor once already?

Linux isn’t a sovereign nation. This isn’t difficult.
