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.

This is why soulless corpos can never compete with talented people who are more than happy to work on amazing things for free just for the sheer satisfaction of achieving something actually useful, instead of lining shareholder pockets while pretending to look busy
They literally work for Redhat
Which is now owned by IBM. I still think Red Hat is a force for good but yeah, they're not smol beans in their basement.
In my experience, numerous people who love tackling hard problems for the sake of it go on to work at soulless corps. That's part of their success.
This guy Corps.
