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.

And then what are the odds that it's still a decade behind photoshop?

gimp 3 anticipation dates back almost over 12 years now. I remember an anecdote of somebody was writing a Linux book in 2012 and wanted to include gimp3 but couldn't wait for it
