Linux

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 remember that on Reddit people were trashing the developer for being Chinese, lol.

Edit: Sorry, I just now understand that TheKernelBlog has nothing to do with CutefishOS. Anyway, I think right now there is a lot left to be desired.

it looks really pretty, but do keep in mind it's pre-alpha software and won't be ready for daily use for quite some time

Do I remember some how they're connected to the jing os development? Are they the same?

Cutefish is based off Cyber and I know one of Cyber's devs (omame). They absolutely hate cutefish. Also, Cyber has its own distro (CyberOS) and AFAIK Cutefish does not.
