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.

Is the link not working or is it an issue on my end?
It was indeed broken, fixed now.
If you decide to actually go for it, in order to get it to compile I did something like this:
(I'm not sure why the
wrapQtAppdoesn't pick up maplibre, maybe it's something to do with the patches they apply, didn't have time to investigate. I also didn't have the time to investigate what is needed to get it "installed", hence toinstallPhaseandnix-builddoesn't work)
