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 does look like ~~reactos~~ windows but better. damn, i wish i had the skills for such a project.
might be good for the potential switchers who need something very similar to windows, old computers that need to brainlessly run win32 software. deshitified windows for those who need it. normies orphaned by win10 who are not ready to learn linux headfirst for any reason. and all open source so you can actually trust your os.
this is what foss enables in spite of purists and copyrighters alike. i like it.
