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.

Will this be included in 14.0-RELEASE

Edit: also, why are you posting FreeBSD news in a Linux community

Do we have a FreeBSD community ... Dunno. If so point me there and I remove my post and post it into the correct guild.

I mainly posted it in here because it might influence some Linux based Distros + because I am not aware of any active FreeBSD guilds here on Lemmy.

Most Linux distributions switched from sh to bash years ago. I don't think that this will influence some Linux distributions.
If you can't find a BSD community, why not create one?
