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.

Add digital identification and payment to that list. As society is going cash-less we've got to depend on privately owned proprietary software to do shopping, banking, taxes, to use public transport, and to access healthcare. There are a few different companies providing digital IDs here, but none of them have a client that runs on Linux. Their mobile apps require either an iPhone or Android with Google Play Services.
