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.

Been waiting for years for wakefield. I'm actually surprised that it's already working this good. Totally thought it was some dead end project that nobody was focusing on.

Very happy to see intellij launching and seems to work with this already.

I'm currently already very happy by finally being able to launch intellij on xwayland without blurriness thanks to latest changes on kde plasma, which was a mess on plasma 5.

I used to check up the progress on the openjdk website. They have regular meetings and the minutes of meeting were recorded. Also, there are regular updates on the github repo.

I am also now looking forward to Project Leyden and Galahad to produce some results.
