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.

The best part of the blogpost: They are going to invest even more next year.

Last week, the budget committee of the Bundestag decided to increase the Sovereign Tech Fund's allocation by €4 million for next year. We're honored and thankful for the German Parliament's recognition of the importance of open source technologies, and for their continued trust in our work.
