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.

DRM = bad. Consider forking.
Umm, this isn't about that DRM
I suspected so and tbh idk why I even made the comment. I guess I'm more unstable than usual at the moment
DRM = Direct Rendering Manager, not Digital Rights Management here
And to preempt the question: direct rendering manager predates digital rights management.
Haha, I always think of digital rights management at first too but it's actually talking about direct rending something
DRM stands for direct rendering manager. You can't even use your computer without the rendering manager to interface your desktop and applications with your GPU.
