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.

They should be more specific. This is just false advertising.

Um, this is like saying full disk encryption is false advertising, because it doesn't prevent people blowing up your apartment complex. LOL.

Sorry, dude, I cannot resist. No hate to you, we all need to start from somewhere.

Wayland isn't a product. You're gonna have to get your mind out of capitalism to understand the free software community.
