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.

OnlyOffice is not based on LibreOffice. There might be a point in joining forces with OpenOffice if OpenOffice actually had forces to join with, but it doesn't because it is a dead project.

Crazy, its completely new code? I thought it was a fork.

That makes it pretty impressive
