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.

While true, why are you linking this comment in almost all the other comments? They are not incorrect, it just makes you look like an ass.
Nerd joke
break;Well, I replied to two comments. I was just trying to let them learn the actual cause of OP's problem so they can help others in the future. I am sorry if I didn't follow proper etiquette.
I counted 3 of them.
Problem is that by doing that you are basically telling them "my answer is better than yours". That not yours to decide, and that's the reason you get downvoted despite having a part of what OP was searching for.
Just think of the obnoxious kid that'd boast for having half a point more than you did. You basically did the internet equivalent.
I've been stuck repeatedly asking myself this question ever since reading your comment 😩 Please be careful about throwing infinite
while true
loops around! Now I need someone to Ctrl-C me.I added a break 😆
