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.

Perhaps check out https://frame.work
Nah Im not giving a cent to Linus Sebastian until he releases the sexual harassment investigation results he lied about releasing.
Linus from LTT is not behind the Framework company/products: https://frame.work/gb/en/about
He may have done a video about them, but that's about it.
Linus is an investor in the framework company: Source on the framework forums that links to the video on youtube
spoiler
Why not directly link to the video? Because I don't want to! :PIronically im still downvoted despite you clearing this up... sigh
Unfortunately, in general, people tend to just read, vote, and then forget about it without checking back: that's why I always try to add some source or ways to verify what I post.
And - in this specific case - probably some people just like LTT, I assume.
Huh. Thank you very much for clearing that up - I don't really watch LTT anymore (not really for a long time, even before the whole i n c i d e n t) so it's great to have some perspective.
Shame, really.
