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.

@yum13241 you have to recompile for Linux arm too, right? It seems you just want excuses to hate macOS.
At least Linux ARM doesn't change every year, and is a reliable STANDARD.
@yum13241 again, just looking for excuses to hate.
I'm not looking for a stupid reason to hate. I can't port my software to macOS even if I wanted to, because cross-compiling isn't an option for nonstandard architectures.
