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 haven't been paying attention, what was the original drama there?
It sounds like good things have come out of it with a more community aligned governance, and nixOS is very interesting tech that could solve some of my headaches with Linux
Someone has compiled a portion of the issues here. There has also been some recent community drama, not covered in the thread, which is also quite closely related to what is described there. tl:dr is basically project management politics
Such as?
