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.

Why don't they count? The systemd interface has been stable for a decade.

They don't count for me, because I can't get support from the main project if it has a bug.

You can't get support from lemmy.linuxuserspace.show or any other website if there's a bug in your web browser. You can't get support from gmail or protonmail or any other mail provider if there's a bug in your email client. It's awful how much people have come to assume that clients and servers must and always come from the same provider.
