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.

Having an RC is a good sign, we can let them have as many RCs as they need now.

Yeah, fingers crossed for an actual release before New Year, though.

New year 2026? 😉

Just any year, I'm not unreasonable 😂

I'm just really excited by this major version, and am impatient to get my hands on the final release...
