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.

TLDR;

It literally hurts me personally to see this happening. It's like a kick in the gut. I used to be proud about having had an involvement with the Linux kernel community in a previous life. This doesn't feel like the community I remember being part of.

"The burden of war-crime should be on the Russian citizens, who indirectly or directly fund the Russian government, but NOT on US citizens, who do the same and bring more harm to the rest of the world." 🤡

If the entire world was so keen on taking their grudge against the USA and the colonial bloc, it would've been turned to cinder. Take your intersectional xenophobia somewhere else.
