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.

Where exactly is this downloadable? I read the blog post and followed the links and still haven't figured out what to do.
I'm fairly sure the project is funding Linux kernel contributions, so if you're using latest kernel releases the improvements mentioned are already in (if your desktop manager makes use of them).
Looks like it's achieved by editing some .conf files. It's mentioned in the link provided.
