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.

Ventoy is a tool to make a USB with multiple ISOs bootable, letting you select which ISO to use on boot. Another newly-created account claims to be the dev's friend and translator and has received no contact from the maintainer.

Chinese guy goes to China and doesn't push any commits for awhile. Simplest explanation is that "the CCP" has abducted him.

It's definitely not impossible. Whatever it is I hope dude is ok. And I still encourage the use of FOSS whenever possible.
