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.

ubports has been completely community maintained and separate from Canonical for longer than it was actually under Canonical.
Why not rebrand? Why continue to use Ubuntu and Canonical trademarks?
I'm not them so idk. Also I think Canonical uses a slightly different ubuntu logo these days.
I think its based on ubuntu mobile or what but its not (~~oracles~~) canonicals project anymore
Okay Ubuntu is bad but it doesn't have anything to do with Oracle... Did you confuse them with Canonical?
But yes, this hasn't been an official Canonical project for a long time... afaik
Sorry i had a brain poop moment
I'm glad. The trademark usage makes that a little unclear.
