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.

Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.
Zero mods back then, so I'm happy to see the mod support!
I like the meme.
I just wish they would merge the "truly infinite worlds" branch. The horizontal limits are to tight for this kind of game.
Why is this news??
Why isn't this news? They are changing the name which is a big deal
I dunno. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but your mileage may certainly vary.
What a terrible name.
Anything is better than minetest which sounded like a hastily written debugging mod for Minecraft
Minetest doesn't have to turn into Roblox, we already have OpenBlox for that purpose
Minetest has been more a platform for making games on than a single game for at least a decade, since they added lua scripting. Seems like you're outraged over nothing with no real understanding of what Luanti has been and aims to be.
Cool so, you linked to some git repositories that haven't been updated in 4-5 years, and looking at their current website there seems to be some sort of crypto involved now.
They're not to be confused, the lead dev's (openblox.org) one was made on 2014 before some crypto dipshittos (openblox.IO) took their name
Okay, but openblox.org doesn't resolve a website at all, directing users instead to a domain registrar.
Lead dev no longer renews that domain for the site. Thats why the repo needs to be revived
Okay... So it sounds like a dead project to me? When Luanti seems to have a huge community around it already...
Is this an out-of-season April Fools' joke?
That woul've been: Minetest Immortal
No, it is something that has been discussed for quite some time. No one could decide on a good name until now
One could argue they still haven't
You could argue but you would be wrong. The name gas changed. There is still some work needed to move domains but that's minor.
I'm sure it is
