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.

Did they ever fix that issue from a while back where they started collecting personal data on users?

That is the real question. Would like to recommend the program to people again.
Tenacity is a fork designed to address those concerns, and it is mostly beyond fork growing pains at this point
Oh very cool. Thanks a lot.
