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.

It's basically a read only mirror with links to the right place. That makes it easier to find or clone for many people
Why do they accept PRs then? Pretty sure you can turn that off.
I'm pretty sure the mirror was setup before that was an option. No reason to turn it off now that it's a source of entertainment.
Is it an option? Can't find it. (But GitHub is confusing and I'm old, so maybe there's something?)
Afaik you very much can not turn it off
