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.

I've seen developers complain that xdg is not a true standard and it only works on linux, which at that point I wanna start slapping people around.
I've seen this too, but as someone who's submitted patches to 5+ projects to fix the pathing, not once has it been rejected
Thank you for your service o7
