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.

This is a shame, I always thought Linux was supposed to be an International collaboration, hate to see it caught up in this bullshit political agenda.

Does invading your neighbor count as international collaboration? Not that all Russian people can be held directly responsible for the actions of their government.

Political agenda is a funny euphemism for imperialist invasion and genocide.

"propaganda"? Oh. You mean like Russia started a full blown unprovoked war with a peaceful nation? That "propaganda"?

Sucks others got caught in the crosshairs, but that's just what happens when your authoritarian government launches unprovoked wars and gets sanctioned.

No matter how many times Western states and corporate media insist that it wasn’t provoked won’t change the fact that it was[1][2].

Greg sent out the patch but won't respond to mail list questions. Sad to see Linux leadership bend the knee

Those nasty Russians might reveal or remove some of our back doors.
