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.

Are you lost? This is not reddit. Also, Russia could stop attacking an european nation to gain some respect back. But they won't. Instead they threaten everyone with nukes daily and cry why nobody likes them.

I think they are lost of they think a federated platform can only have people who agree with them. When you make a choice to create software that's federated, it's not "yours" anymore, and people on the platform who disagree with you are just as much members as you are.
