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.

"cross-platform" but it's not available for the most popular developer OS (Windows) 🤔
Edit: most popular OS as per the Stack Overflow dev survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-technologies-operating-system
most popular among c# devs
Across all devs that fill out the Stack Overflow survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-technologies-operating-system
which is less responses than all linux distros + WSL
Even without WSL it's basically the same portion of people using windows and using linux for personal use.
My kinda cross platform 🤘
