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.

Talking about unpopular, I have just created fork of the project Greybeard (MicroOS+Sway) called “Moldavite” (meteorite induced explosion near Nürnberg caused a lot of gems falling on the ground in Bohemia, if it is not a symbol of the cooperation inside of SUSE, then I don’t know what would be ;)). The main project site is https://sr.ht/~mcepl/moldavite/ and OBS project is https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mcepl:moldavite . Whereas, as I understand it, Greybeard is at least for the moment more or less on the back burner, I hope to continue to work on this.
