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.

Anyone using this? I can’t tell what problems it actually solves for the end user.
I've started using it on my secondary machine, during the 2.90 beta cycle. Fundamentally, you don't get anything different yet. It's marginally faster, and fixes some bugs
Are there and plans for improving/writing documentation? This was always a lacking area for nix
No clue, i'm just some dude online
