And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?

It's ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.

It's up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it's roots.

Yo why is everyone mad about me calling drooling on the joint N-word lipping it? I didn't know it was a slur I'm just trying to reclaim it.

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.
