If the title were the least bit true like the article implied, Nintendo would be harassed ongoing with many lawsuits.
Anyone else find this embarrassing?

Couldn't help but find it funny they implied Linux is more than a kernel, and that FreeBSD is just a kernel, and that Linux can have a FreeBSD kernel. I guess they tried to simplify it for people who don't know anything about this stuff, or maybe the author doesn't.We’ve suspected it all along, and now it’s been confirmed: the Nintendo Switch runs on Linux. More specifically, the Linux Free BSD Kernel.
lol actually, according to Wikipedia, all of those are based on FreeBSD, and not just the Switch. They've been doing this for way longer than even the author of this article realized. and then they finish it off with:This is the first time Nintendo uses Linux for its console — the Wii U, Wii, and other consoles all used proprietary Nintendo software. What does this mean for gamers? Not much, since it’s a heavily customized version of Linux.
As if that made the situation any better. The entire post he made was nothing but 100% false information spread blissfully unaware of reality.UPDATE: As some readers have pointed out, Switch’s Free BSD kernel is more akin to Unix than to Linux, but the two share lots of similarities
