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. No matter how many downvotes you get for it. This all the way.

Sure, but RustDesk is not entirely opensource, there are key binary parts.
it took you as long to find that link as it would have to look up the thing they gave you. this is not kindergarten, nobody owes you you their time. you are expected to be able to find and evaluate the validity of information yourself.
nope I had it bookmarked
I think you should click the link above
i can see what it points to. you can't claim the statement is unfalsifiable just because you didn't see the issues before removal. like, this is not proof-of-god tier stuff.
I would agree but you have to draw a line somewhere or else it will end up like reddit
