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.

Keep in mind that sway is written by Drew Devault who is a mentally ill creep (eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837782)
Drew started the project but he isn’t really involved anymore. Simon Ser is the lead maintainer now.
...that link did not convince me that he is a mentally ill creep at all?
Is there a part you actually care about in particular?
The part where he has been obsessively trying to depose a saintly old man with cancer by misinterpreting stuff he's written and one thing he allegedly (no proof) said in the 80s. Then he posted in the HN thread praising the report and claimed not to have written it, and fled back to mastodon when it was discovered that he did write it. Then he marked everyone's post that questioned him as a death thread.
And that was just Tuesday.
Oh wow, did you actually read the report?? Saintly... you have convinced me you are the mentally ill one
I hope you get the help you need Drew.
