Linux in '96

Linux in '96 - A reference to the usability of the Linux Operating System in a particular year that is used to describe the usability of something else (often other Open Source software). For example, Chris C Kemp has compared the usability of the OpenStack cloud software to Linux in 1996. May be humorously applied to unrelated items with a user experience component.

Dude - doing your mom is like Linux in '96.

Linux

An OS used by geeks who want to escape proprietary software, and who have the computer power to fix everything that goes wrong by themselves. It is used heavily on servers, probably including the Urban Dictionary one.
