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.

Oh great, another boutique "simple and lightweight Linux distribution". This one will solve all the problems the others don't. Perhaps it's simpler? Or lightweightier?
Oh and it comes with its own glossary of silly names for things so you can feel ridiculous when talking about it too others. Neat.
Almost. It doesn't try to solve all the problems, though. I'd say it's a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.
TempleOS a passion project? Feels like a little bit of an understatement...
