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 think that the Tor network is proven to be broken by feds if you are suspicious.~~
The Tor network was in fact used to reveal the identity of someone (https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/german-authorities-apparently-cracked-tor-anonymity-but-onion-heads-say-its-still-safe) but as we don't know the truth we cannot really make conclusion but we can act that :
(Tor is always more secure if you're opsec is great from the beginning)
For example you're one of the biggest drug dealer and you're doing 100 000 of deaths every say, for sure they will cramp up to you and find you, succeeding to deanonymize you.
But most of the time you are not that attractive so you will be mostly anonymous. They can target an entity to reveal it but cannot deanonynize the entire network
Source on the first statement?
Gonna modify it a bit as sure it's not that true
