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 can't find them at any of the German retailers at least. Only one that claims it will probably be sold by 23.10

Is that like when I ordered a 3B and was told it'll ship in 3 months then 3 months later the retailer emailed me to say that I'll need to cancel my order because they don't know when it'll actually be filled?
