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.

Honestly, it's pretty normal for Linux. It'll fracture until it becomes glaringly obvious that there's a problem, and then it'll get standardized, and the standard may be supported in the next version.
Ubuntu could have gone flatpak. They didn't. Kde and gnome could have come to a common agreement about desktop-related stuff they have in common. They didn't. So it goes. The real pain points eventually get fixed.
Non linear evolution at it’s finest ;-)
It’s a lot harder to keep track of than it used to be but (holy crap) we won… mostly.
Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it's growing. I like that.
I'd really like to see more governmental support, but.. ..so it goes.
I’m pretty sure that just free is harder to tax. Remember having to stop and explain what unix was? :-)
