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.

Redcore, for a moment I confused that name with RedStarOS, lol
Redcore is a gentoo fork, I have it installed due to it being anti ai, but haven't spent much time with it yet
RedStar being North Korean would be way down my list along with usa, israel, and russian distros
You couldn't use RedStar anyway. It blocks internet access and isn't officially available outside North Korea. The only copies around are leaked copies.
