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.

Recent experience, developing in Opus 5.5. Spin up an agent to review the security aspects of the project, write a report. Pass the report to another Opus 5.5 agent and tell it to implement mitigations for confirmed problems found in the report. Implementation agent proceeds to make tests for the described exploits and gets shut down by the guardrails: Opus 5.5 is not permitted to "do that kind of work" had to scale back to Opus 4.8 for the implementation, though 5.5 was still happy to describe the chained attack scenarios, apparently it's not allowed to develop demonstration code as it was trying to do for the test cases.
