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.

An unforeseen consequence from AI Slop is that normal people can now create quite handy software for niche use cases, but the barrier to entry is so low that those people often abandon it quickly too. Rather than security risks, abandonedware is starting to become a bigger problem.

I don't know about other normal people, but I'm certainly actively maintaining my own vibecoded apps as long as it's affordable to do so. By that I mean they give me the niche functionality I want & new features are not added anymore, but if a pillow or pyqt update breaks my app, I may figure out how to fix it even on my own.
