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.

The "Community v.s. Vendor Enablement" was a pretty interesting discussion.

I feel like one thing people (who are pessimistic with Ashai Linux) overlook is that the Ashai team cares a lot about attention to detail. I argue that most vendors don't have that level of care for Linux.

It's why I feel like (in the long run) Apple Silicon will offer a superior Linux experience compared to most x86_64 machines.
