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.

Can someone translate that text?
Here's the Google Lens translation:![The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of "IP hosting/spreading malware"](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/597fa4ff-1283-4179-bf9b-4e5b6aba80fb.png)
Yeah, shame on him for going out of his way to provide helpful information for people, as a direct response to someone who asked for it!
Write some alt text for us if you're so butthurt about it.
Glad to see lemmy users are just as snide as reddit users jeez
