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.

Maple Tree also recently caused intermittent failures in some of my CPU-intensive tasks, in such an obscure way that I only found out by dumb luck that it was a kernel bug. I expect it will be great eventually, but it's feeling pretty rough at the moment. I'm thinking this code should have had more testing and maturing before going mainline.
Yep, got failures building GrapheneOS and the devs of that ROM made a big fuss on their Twitter when they encountered the failure themselves. The kernel devs really messed up with the way they deployed this thing
