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.

Looking in to it a bit more, it looks like they handled this extremely well, admirably even! https://rust.facepunch.com/news/updated-linux-plans
I remember this. I refunded the game ASAP. For the longest time they've neglected the Linux client to the point where it was just broken and crashed often and you couldn't even play with Windows players because the Linux client was so far behind. And of course the Windows version ran just fine on Linux via Proton. Yet they seemed surprised and annoyed whenever Linux players pointed this out. That's where I lost all my respect for them as a developer. I would refund Gary's Mod too if I could.
