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.

This looks cool.

What is it?

edit: About an hour later of clicking around and watching videos. Whatever it is, it's a treasure trove of interesting/innovative programs and utilities built around some kind of experimental display server. At times it's like watching Hollywood's interpretation of a future operating system. Much of it is beyond comprehension. Whoever is working on this clearly has a vision and I applaud them for it.

I went to their about page and realized I was in over my head.

I can't go to their about page, for some reason the menu is not clickable...
