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 video sparked a wave of harassment against the Pop OS devs. Which certainly was not the intent of anyone involved in the video.
I feel like I probably don't need to say it on Lemmy, but I will. PSA: No matter who's actual fault the problem Linus showed in this video was, be it the devs, package maintainers, or Linus himself, it's not an excuse to harass or send hate messages to anyone. Period.
I had hoped the linux community was alot more mature then that but sadly not, I'm honestly pretty disappointed
Those kinds of people exist in every community, sadly
