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.

No idea how you survive Nix's scattered documentation.
lmao.
"provides Guile Scheme APIs". Yeah, I provide this software in Slint. This software provides Linux APIs. This software provides HTTP APIs. kek
What a helpful description.
Nix's documentation doesn't try to invent a new way to say "this was written in $language" and has less members like you around. Much easier to deal with.
