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.

God fucking damit, so many open source projects struggle for money and yet, that fascist jackass' dot file distro gets all the support. That's maddening...
Considering where the support is coming from.... Are you surprised?
Nazis doing Nazi things.
Seriously though... I wouldn't want fascists' money anywhere near my pet distros, regardless of volume. As they say: "He who pays the piper calls the tune."
It’s money laundering. Thats all.
How do you think that's supposed to work lol, if they can simply pay him (DHH) money, that's already clean money.
They're just funding fellow millionaire fascists to take over a space that's been historically left-wing
