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.

Not really. I'm glad they removed the button.
It's clear for anyone who wasn't born yesterday that the "issues" the bottles team seem to have all revolve around maintaining their control over what should be free software. The "we can't keep up with bug reports" is a talking point for those who don't know any better. It's a distraction.
They don't want people repackaging their software because their donation buttons might get removed, for example.
