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.

Not sure “Didn’t the dev dropped that project” sounds quite right either. Figured “Isn’t” was autocorrected from what was supposed to be “Hasn’t”

Not being critical… I’m ADHD so my brain works weird and I’m just bored this morning :)

"Didn't the dev drop that project"

My brain is melty right now but I think that's right.

(How many of us have ADHD on here anyway??)

Probably lots since we all need that constant dopamine drip we get from sites like this.
