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.

I found some negative press about cosmic which can be valid or not.
https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-on-cosmic
Repeating my other reply verbatim as you just did the same:
First, to be clear, this isn't so much "press" as a blog entry. Second, there are only so many mentions of "rust cultists" and "my rust" I can read in a blog before losing interest.
I've seen that blog post. Tbh Vaxry is kinda unhinged. I think he cares about Cosmic being written in Rust more than the "rust cultists" themselves :P
Oh, I didn't know that I randomly found this blog.post.
