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 tucked away in the web interface, but Linux users are able to vote for features and show that they exist as part of the userbase.

Where does it say that this is specific to Linux?

How I interpret OP’s message is that it isn’t specific to Linux, but seeing as we are the Linux community, we might be more inclined to advocate for Linux features? 🤷‍♂️
