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.

Probably not "angry" downvotes. OP provided a link where it's explained exactly why the switch was made. Even if you don't care for Rust it's pretty clear that this was done with more purpose than just "Ooo let's make it in Rust for fun"

And even if it was for fun, that would still be valid. The project is run by volunteers. If they don't have fun, they stop doing it.
