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.

After the ridiculing of cosmic devs and their ability to do ally, they now realize, "Oh, crap, cosmic is picking up steam. Maybe we should get somewhat serious with accessibility."
Can't wait to see gnome continue to flounder here. Best of luck to this new fellow, because I am absolutely sure they will need it. Gnome is afterall, Gnome.
It's almost like some people don't represent an entire project's idea, or almost like people don't have to double down on their mistakes and can go back on them if they realize it's better, or almost like the world isn't a war to see who's right.
Insane, right?
doesn't change the fact that gnome is still gnome and has been historically hostile to stuff like this, with them taking ages to implement basic things like the wayland idle inhibit protocol. I mean it when I wish them luck because I genuinely think gnome is incapable of making good design decisions.
