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.

Everything that accelerates our path to the future is terrible because the future is very dark. Bad decision from Mozilla here unfortunately

But the future is inevitable, isn't it better to be less pessimistic and attempt to be prepared for it instead of just waiting?

Doesn't accelerating give you less time to prepare?
