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.

While some of the arguments are true, this blog post mainly reads like an ad for hyperland and it propably is just that.

Dude's shilling for his own compositor backend right after ditching wlroots. He has zero credibility in this matter.

Oh no, he's shilling his own project after transitioning to a different technology.

Do you even hear yourself? I think you should stick with "He's a biggot" type of comments, because this just makes you look stupid.
