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.

What was the recent drama? Can you get me up to speed with a few sentences or links? Thanks. (You do based work btw, we appreciate it comrade)
It's pretty well covered here: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/elementary-os-is-imploding?s=r (https://archive.ph/vNEY2)
Basically, the money is running low, and Cassidy decided he'd rather go get a full-time job elsewhere than stay in the situation. Danielle believed that meant that the company would be able to buy the shares Cassidy held back from Cassidy. Cassidy didn't believe that's how it should be; he wanted to keep his shares. Danielle didn't like that, so the two parties proceeded to argue about it (which Danielle would subsequently take to Twitter).
At this point lawyers are involved.
Thanks for the summary. I don't think a project like that will just die because it has many backers and fans. Hopefully. Although I don't use it nor do I like it, I don't want to see it gone. I also would advise to be very vigilant with anything that Lunduke says though, since he is very bias and disrespectful to people with different ideals.
