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.

Vivaldi is chromium though isn't it?
Yes. Why?
There is a vocal contingent of people online who hate that chromium has the vast majority of market share of browser rendering engines.
Your response makes it seem like you don't agree with the efforts of those vocal people. Which is funny, because you're posting this on lemmy, instead of reddit, so you clearly don't like a single company having complete and monopoly-like control, the browser wars should be viewed the same way. Non-Chromium browsers (but mostly Firefox) are the only thing stopping Google from having basically complete control over the internet, by having only 1 dominant rendering engine that they control.
Here's a perfect example: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/youtube-responds-to-delayed-loading-in-rival-browser-complaints
I dunno, why are you using Lemmy?
