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.

Holy shit, Android using the Linux kernel is actually helpful for once? I'm shocked

They have all their own userland stuff.

I think Desktop linux could adopt more... like a hardened, not tracking, neutral webview so projects could stop using damn Electron. Like actually having a slim and efficient system, without the need to not use Sandboxing.

Not sure if bionic is better than glibc too. Musl probably is, and the problem is binary package repos so you will need to use Alpine to get rid of glibc
