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.

Lol. This guy responded only because Phoronix called him out on the allow releases yesterday. I do not think this person can make good on their previous promises of an accelerated development schedule, unfortunately.

To be clear, this blogpost has been in the works before that article came out and due to release this week. When Phoronix article came out, it was bad timing and Phoronix could just reach out to the devs asking why there is no update. Instead, they releaesed an article based of "looking at github contribution" charts.

The link literally had today's date...

Because when you release a blog post, you set the publish date to when you started writing, rather than the day it goes out? What?

"This guy" that Phoronix "called out" isn't even who wrote the blog post you're commenting on.
