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.

Maybe Russia should contribute something to the world so they can deny it when they want.

In the meantime, that terrorist state needs to immediately cease the murder of innocent Ukrainian people, return all of the land they have stolen, pay for the damage they have caused, and submit Putin to face trial for his war crimes.

Not disagreeing. How does that relate to kernel maintainers who just so happen to be born there?
