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.

oh wow the third xda post of the year about ntsync. it's been on since November 2025 btw
n'tsync is gonna make everyone say Bye Bye Bye to Windows
I thought n'tsync was delayed because when I asked about the release, the devs said it's gonna be May.
That's alright, I want it that way
Really? Tell me why.
It ain’t nothin but a heart break
