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.

Anyone tried it? How is it

Seems pretty neat. Hopefully it's somewhat simple to compile and set up. It's kind of weird that livekit is VC funded though. Not necessarily the best, since they might have to relicense it to make investors happy at some point.

Look at their list of investors: https://livekit.io/about

The programmability aspect of LiveKit is cool, not that it matters much since this "meet" app is just something built on top of livekit.

The tech isn't hard to copy, just had to be willing to go and do it themselves.

It is hard when they continually bribe your government

Interesting but do not trust Macron on anything, he's part of the club.
