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.

GTFO, you're the brainrot ai slop hosting TikTok company.
Code is code. If it's good Free code, I'll use it. I also don't like Microsoft and Facebook but I run their kernel code too.
Why should i trust them with this multi-kernel thingy if they let the dumpster fire that is tiktok, exist? And, they're probably trying to embrace-extend-extinguish Linux just like microsoft and apple with their WSL and Containers.app respectively.
Because it's Free and reviewed by kernel maintainers, what do you mean?
the only brainrot here is your own
