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.

Not entirely of course as they have their own products they sell but they worked together on Proton.

Yeah, I know that. I even paid for one of their products.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I only remember that they also contributed a lot of code to Wine.

Apparently they have some really talented developers and a good mission.
