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.

Mate, you're spreading misinformation about a packaging format and going on all-caps rages about how great the one you use is.

You're projecting so hard that I'm considering calling you IMAX.

Might wanna improve the reading skills there, because I even mentioned here that appimages suck because the runtime doesn't statically link glibc and that would improve their compatibility to 100% if they did (would work on musl distros).

going on all-caps rages

Yeah I can't take blatantl lies like those that say that appimages bloat the system while promoting flatpaks, and I've already shared you enough info showing that is utterly false.

I’m considering calling you IMAX.

You're funny lol.
