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.

I was confused because there was no article visible at that link. Then I noticed you included the #fragment part that skips the article and jumps straight to the comments, and scrolled up to find it. Here's the corrected link: https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/16/where-bugfixes-and-new-features-come-from/
