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.

All good! I tried using Magisk to change the boot.img for Lineage OS and it seemingly worked (phone still boots) but doesn't seem like root was enabled or maybe I'm missing something. It's just one edge case, but kind of important. Figured too many pin attempts to wipe device should be a feature I want on my Lineage devices
