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.

What are you trying to build? What language?
It's an onscreen keyboard for plasma on Wayland. C++ and whatever qt framework KDE uses to build their stuff (and I just realized that I didn't use qml for styling). I need it for my first language since no onscreen keyboard works for me and I don't have a keyboard with that language. Maliit does work, but it never switches to any other language.
