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.

At least it's not Windows?
Can’t believe it’s not Windows.
Leave us alone, we don't need more users
Depends on what users.
The kind for whom stupid software with ads is made. The kind who give 0 stars to open source software on google play for dumb reasons. The ones who are offended by a program being named "GIMP" or "daemon".
Virtue by default, Linux.

It will hurt the whole way down. Please don't climb.
Also implies that you can actually climb it (metaphorical for "learning") and has the option to stay above or climb down. Based on the image, its an art project that just stays there for you to explore.
