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.

Fuck.
Let’s hope for a slop-free fork or the old man changing his mind on this bullshit.
or maybe just time to grow up
"Grow up, join the sect. If not you'll be left out when we all become AI-augmented and fly to Mars"
join the sect says the person who's against a glorified calculator?
This is the kind of arguments people made against the free-software movement in the first place. That it's somehow more mature to not care about consequences of what we do and how we do it
I think it's exactly the other way around
The former seems unlikely to happen (or at least for the long term).
