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.

The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

Not a linux project, but OpenCamera for android is probably the only exception I know of. It's still getting updated and does best what it's supposed to do.

True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.

Good thing is that sourceforge have anonymous commenting and tickets. Once I had an issue with open camera I didn't need any account to create a ticket or comment

There are other exceptions.
