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.

AdvanceD.

Advance computing means it's computing performed ahead of time - if it means anything at all.

I'm assuming the speculative-execution bugs were their fault then

This is the future, instructions will be executed before they are run.

Actually that’s kind of like what CPUs do today with branching.
