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.

I'm sorry but what word are you trying to replace? I can't tell

They misinterpreted "metaverse platform, mozilla.social" as a single item in the list, not as two items.

For anyone who isn't aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

A I see, thank you for clarifying,.I was genuinely confused

Grammatically it can be properly read either way, but I think you're right that's probably how they meant it.
