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.

Today we have the one, the only, Jeremy Soller of System76 and the BDFL of RedoxOS on the show. He's had his fair share of drama with the libadwaita stuff but he's been around in the FOSS world for a long time so I was very curious to hear his take on certain things especially involving PopOS.
