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.

God why are people here so obsessed with optional telemetry. Fedora aren't selling your secrets to advertiser's, they are just trying to create a better experience for users, and you can always opt out.
Has it ever occured to you that it is also good to give back to the open source community?
Yes, I'm glad at least one person has this opinon!
