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.

Until we welcome the next CEO: Elon Musk

"Introducing the X Engine (XE) - the free-speech, anti-woke gaming engine formerly known as Unity! To show our dedication to anti-wokeness we will only allow String and Long variable types, and to show my dedication to being a free-speech edgelord, functions will now be referred to as fucktions. Professional access to XE will be $420.69 monthly, with additional fees added on based on the success of the product you created."

I mean, let’s be honest. Integers are just a waste of money and storage. I’ll go there myself and disconnect the integers from the engine.

I mean, seriously; whoever uses integers in 2023? I mean, 2023.0?

You know what, I'm all for it. Nothing would sink Unity faster than whatever they pulled last than to appoint Elon.
