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 sketch factor on this software is over 9000. I would never run it
Shhhh you're scaring the Americans
I mean you're not wrong 😅
It's open source?
It is well established, if niche, software. I think your sketchometer needs calibration.
I'll take it in for a tune up :P
Why do you say that? The website is a little ugly in parts (the colored text bulleted list near the bottom) but it doesn't look "sketch" at all.
And if you can get past some poorly designed home page for a project, they publish the source with supposedly 101 contributors.
