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 Rust hype at least makes sense.

In technical context, yes. I'm a Rustacean myself.
In business/marketing context, ...

Rustacean

Is that why the mascot's a crab??

It also makes sense in a business context, because Rust enables memory safety at native speed, and enables building more reliable software due to its strong type system.

Safety and reliability are business critical in many industries.
