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.

@bunitor That would be my take. My take is that as individuals we are were international cooperation needs to begin, it isn't going to happen with our governments, at least it never has historically.

We had international cooperation but the world is splintering now. Might be some security concerns but also think some of it is America protecting its companies from China companies.
