Linux

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.

@fafok20662 @linux Not as long as it's constrained by an open source license, but it's likely going to follow the sqlite model where you take it or leave it, with no feedback. Except it won't be as high quality and alternative-less as sqlite.

Major shoutout to sqlite here.

Fantastic program, probably better because it is helmed by a dev with ridiculously high standards who doesn't compromise with what others want.
