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.

Honestly, I think that that has less to do with the connector itself and more because the power cord gets yanked.

I'd assume that you could get a similar effect with any connector, USB included. Well, Apple's MagSafe ones maybe not, as that'll just pull the cord away.
