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.

If you're not familiar with reading mailing lists or don't follow what is happening, Brodie Robertson on YT did a good video on this: https://youtu.be/GhfhzTDQdUU

TL;DR: Some tooling script caused the problem, but it initially seemed like a malicious pull request from kernel developer. It wasn't and the issue was resolved. The tooling script will be updated with better error messages so this kind of problem should be obvious when it occurs.
