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.

Is this an April Fool? I trust nothing posted on 1 April!
Man, why do people publish serious announcements on April 1st? Between the XZ backdoor that almost pwned all of Linux, a Silksong update, Bellular News taking some absolutely degenerate stance with games "journalism", and this, I don't know what the fuck to believe.
Why did Bellular news do/say? Haven't caught up with that debacle yet.
Defended Kotaku sucking up to SBI, downplayed and ignored SBI's harrassment campaigns and the apparent racism of some of its employees. There's also some conflict of interest because his company is in bed with SBI. I skimmed through most of the videos, it's really not worth my time.
According to some comments, he also said some ridiculous things in support of SBI's witch hunt against a particular Steam user on twitter, but I won't go wading into that cesspool, so can't verify.
Thanks for taking the time to summarise it! 🙌

Well then, it's an interesting proposal because it would be nice to see a major player default to KDE. I don't see it happening though.
