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.

in early 2000s there was a project written in pascal that was called xpde.
it was a desktop environment that was replicating everything in xp, control panel, file manager, device manager, desktop, everything.
i don't know how it got closed/discontinued. was it a legal issue or developers ran out of steam.
So, they know it's only windows users that downloads it? Interesting - their version 17 must have sucked so much that people switched back, and now they give it another go?
18 is pretty darn good
Is that headline number for the free or paid for version? I couldn't tell from the article.
Looks like all downloads are direct from them, so it's much harder for distros using torrents to know their install base, but I suspect they're not much different.
I've seen increased activity with the Arch, Mint & Raspios torrents that I seed - although I don't have cold figures to say how much by.
