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.

what latest russian stuff?
Russian insults in the terminal after installing packets from the AUR.
Probably referring to the "vandalism" comments that were added to PKGBUILDs as the supply chain attack was being handled. Those were, I believe, in Russian.
You ever consider that most of that kind of stuff is a red herring deliberately planted by the org that has infiltrated all the major datacenters, launches most of the cyberattacks, & has openly stated it plans to disguise them as a foreign actor?
No, no, I can see the Russian stuff. It's in the room with us right now 👀
