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.

The US sanctions anyone that isn't under their complete control, it's not a serious country.
And I'm truly sorry you're too much of a brainwashed nationalist to understand why free software shouldn't be affected by petty politics.
Yah ok the US is the most wealthy most powerful country in the world and they are not a serious country. Maybe the rest of the world should stop relying on America for everything. I really hope this starts tech sectors in other countries but somehow I don’t think it well. Besides China who is still reliant on American companies.
China is divesting as quickly as possible from the US as they've overtaken the use in GDP
other countries rely on the US because the US uses military intervention and economic sanctions to ensure everyone has to rely on them. this is not difficult to understand
