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.

Thats what I said, only scetchy sites.
I’m sorry, but like half the sites for open source tools and programs look like that. Hell, the OpenSSH website doesn’t look that much more legitimate to my eyes.
I experienced that for windows 10 years ago but (almost) all projects on linux have adopted a new style over time.
I gotta agree that there are some very old projects but it just looks scetchy to me because it's old and just off.
OpenSSH website looks perfectly legitimate. It's quite similar to the site of the project that brought it to life, OpenBSD.
It's also a very good looking website, no mobile or material-design bullshit where websites look all the same. It's a very nice classy looking site.
