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.

This list sorta makes sense. The more popular you are, the more haters you're likely to have.

Can't say I agree with much of this list, but I can see where it comes from /shrug

Its like that joke about programming languages:

There are two types of programming languages, ones that people complain about, and ones that nobody uses.

Also, a lot of people just really like to hate whatever is popular.
