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.

2019-07-09: The death knell of Red Hat

Honestly, I am not surprised. Red Hat's parent company IBM is an absolute joke. Almost as bad as Oracle.

Don't worry, Redhat was garbage anyway. It's going to pale in comparison to Watson Enterprise Linux.

Honestly, I think they're worse. Oracle have actually done less evil in the past few years compared to before, whilst IBM/Redhat seem to be revelling in causing disharmony and aggressive business tactics.
