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.

Great project that deserves all the funding it can get.
DivestOS is second only to GrapheneOS (from what I can tell, at least), Mull is a fantastic hardened Firefox fork that barely trails behind with updates, and... well I don't know much about his other apps, to be honest.
But those two projects alone are invaluable to the Android privacy and FOSS community.
Honestly I like Divest more as it has a strong commitment to free software.
As a Graphene and Mull user, I can only say it's surprising and a little sad the security/privacy and copyleft don't overlap as often as they should (which is all the time).
