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.

my first impression of dependency management was the abomination that is nuget. I'll never forget how bad it can be. every language that has a first class dependency manager like cargo is a win.

I personally didn't dislike NuGet that much, but that's coming from someone who has been working with CMake for the last couple of months 😄
