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.

There's a good argument to be made that the project might just end up imploding in a year or two and dying out

Could you make this argument?

No they can't, they can only say "flavor of the month" nonstop until another parrot catches it and repeats it

I can counter argument their non-existing argument, if bazzite dies tomorrow you are free to rebase to any other Fedora Atomic distro

It's nonsense you can just use one command to swap from bazzite to kinoite if it does, it's very easy and low effort to distro hop on fedora atomic based distros

And half of the project is mostly just automated package update pulls and compiling them into images
