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.

If you didn't know about VanillaOS, their official website is here.

But I didn't see the link to Matrix in their website, only to their discord, is this official or just their "community" Matrix?

It's official/unofficial it's maintained by the official staff, but the main dev doesn't like matrix, but it's all official staff lol

Thanks for answering! But it is weird though a linux distro main developer prefer Discord over some FOSS forum for a Linux distro community (other than Discord that advertised in their website, there are no other forum for this distro, well other than this Matrix room)
