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.

Good. No offence to him, as he is the architect behind nix, but nixos suffers from major governance issues, largely thanks to indecision, infighting and actively distilling conflict within the community.
At the end of the day, that whole "benevolent dictator" schtick is just not sustainable.
Also, it's 2024 already. Finish the implementation of flakes. Either that, or strip it out. One or the other. Get off the pot or piss.
