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.

they don’t understand their audience, do they? or this is for steam decks lol
Tbh there's a good amount of people on linux that are fine with AI. I say that based on the amount of stars and trending projects I see on github, don't know how much of it is bots tho.
I really wish it wasn't so easy to bot stars.. So many projects are so obvious botted these days
reminds me of duckduckgo and mozilla smh
