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.

Fuck, I really hope this doesn't turn the tides for other Red Hat projects.
Not even my Linux distros can escape the enshittiness. WTF man.
I use Fedora, but I'm very uneasy with the fact that they are married to Red Hat. If things go south for Fedora, I hope a community driven fork can survive if not Fedora itself.
Not to mention CentOS stream is now essentially a fork of current code... total bummer. WTF.
It's ultimately because of capital. Capital controls resource allocation, so any project that requires resources will have to align with capital interests
