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.

Too bad they go the Ubuntu route now.

Did you mean Debian maybe? Because what Debian did with KeepassX.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago

What Debian did with KeePassX is on a whole other level. They maliciously and intentionally harmed the reputation of upstream.
