Many wonderful people have contributed to the Linux kernel. But one particular codebase has a dark past, and is scheduled to be removed in 2025.

If we’re upset about this just wait until you find out what sorts of atrocities IBM/Red Hat is mixed up in.

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.
