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.

Sounds good. It's a win win. People that doesn't like the system d implementation can use doas or keep sudo. I Hate the name though. Run0 is dumb can't they just steal the name doas

I'll just use an alias; sudo has been around for to long for me to change it and not be stressed about it.

Sir, your thinking is certainly what kids call "next-level".
