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.

Haven't watched the video - just my thoughts...
Minetest (specifically Mineclone2) is an impressive feat, and a very faithful reproduction of the original. I pretty much used the Minecraft fandom wiki to progress through the game. Hours of fun was had without handing money to M$.
I only really stopped because the redstone functionality wasn't fully implemented.
Hats off to the devs on that project regardless
Just fyi Minclone2 changed its name to Voxellibre
And it is no longer trying to clone Minecraft. They are moving beyond.
And there's a separate effort called Mineclonia.
I haven't had the urge to play it recently, so I haven't tried it since the name change. I heard they were diverging a bit from being a Minecraft clone, are there many large changes?
The redstone is a large feat indeed. I started working on that but had to stop due to time constraints. Its still in my head though.
All in all there is just too much great stuff someone with a little drive and a little coding knowledge can do in the foss ecosphere.
