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.

But good news, there are people working on a solution. I will add the name of the project later if I can remember it again.

Im definitely interested as well, we got plasticity I suppose, but that doesn't have a timeline and is missing a lot of more advanced features

Thanks! That's awesome, I'll check it out. Hopefully it will one day be able to match more professional software in terms of functionality and stability
