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.

One of RedHat's packagers drops a lot of important packages' maintainership due to management chain decisions. These include:

  • gnome-bluetooth (including Settings panel and gnome-shell integration)
  • totem, totem-pl-parser, gom
  • libgnome-volume-control
  • libgudev
  • geocode-glib
  • gvfs AFC backend
  • power-profiles-daemon
  • switcheroo-control
  • iio-sensor-proxy
  • low-memory-monitor

...and "Kernel work, reviews and maintenance, including recent work on SteelSeries headset and Logitech devices kernel drivers, USB revoke for Flatpak Portal support, or core USB".

Florian Gilcher just posted some related thoughts on funding when talking about Non-Thoughts on the OSI – in short: Ruby, JavaScript, Rust, Python built up and rely on their communities

Interesting post. Perhaps worth sharing in !opensource@lemmy.ml if it hasn't already.
