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.

This is why we can't have nice things.
~~The community~~ Vocal members thereof, instead of seeing genuine effort as something praiseworthy always find the worst stupid angle to belittle well-meaning people from.
I'd sure like to know where I belittled OP. The comment is factual, no judgments were made. Not by me anyway.
I'm judging the shit out of you now though.
I mean it's not that belittling for sure. But you said something you didn't need to say either. Op is happy sharing their first app and you stating "facts" is something no one asked for. My mother taught me: it's okay to stfu sometimes
