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.

#1 sponsor is Shopify, how does that affect the indepentness?
..per the FAQ.
influence exists whether they want it to or not.
Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don't like something, they can influence you by simply... taking away your financial backing.
True but you can account for that in the organization
Why are we shouting?
As long as it doesn't become a way for Shopify to shovel ads and collect data it isn't a problem. We will watch with great interest
Your client is interpreting "#1..." as "# 1..." and making it a title
