When I just see my TV taking Linux updates it makes me feel so cozy. For context sake I have a veroV running osmc.

I’ve read it as Free-Licenced Open Source Software before.
Which doesn’t clarify much IMO but it turns the abbreviation into a word!

At that point, just abbreviate it LOSS; Libre Open Source Software.
Free/Libre is a bit redundant, isn’t 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.
