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.

We definitely living in a simulation.
Not that I don't disagree with you, but how did you come down to this conclusion?
We're so many levels of abstraction and emulation deep, that the natural conclusion is that there's no reason to believe we're at the top of the abstraction, but somewhere in the middle.
I understood that. But I don't see how you came down to this conclusion simply because someone put Linux inside Linux.
When you put matryoshka russian dolls one inside the other, do you also think "man, we live in a simulation"?
Yes
Oh.
