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.

But bruh, "if it compiles, it works". Who needs testing now that we have blazing safe rust with AI?
"Ship fast and break things", bruh.
That's the sad point where the software industry is at these days.
In a few years people will be locked-in with some proprietary Linux distro variants made by big tech and they will wonder how that happened.
People show stop a moment and reflect on why the GNU license exists in the first place.
