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.

It's the first time I've ever heard about this website, but it seems like the author's decision was the best decision they could've done, due to how pressured they felt with the conrent creation thing.
My one question is why the site is shutting down rather than merely not making new posts anymore.
Don't underestimate the relief of a clean ending. The author isn't in a good place, it won't do him any favors to leave it up. He clearly wants to put this chapter of his life behind him.
