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.

You want give some context here? We don't even know who is speaking in these screenshots, and to what end. Why would this even be a conversation?

Seems like some open source dev that responds to the "boycott wayland gist" and is against wayland.

Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn't really realize what Wayland even was

It's like the systemd argument all over again. SIGH
