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.

you know I shouldn't be disappointed by blatant lies in headlines with the state of journalism in current year but I still kinda am.
Thanks for saving my time.
You are disappointed because it doesn't have to be this way.
You can find it in the wild without finding evidence of infection.
I think in this context found in the wild means that the sample was found in the wild, just maybe not running.
I'm disappointed, but this is a good thing.
