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.

Not mentioned in the list, but a project worth keeping an eye on:
"llamafile: bringing LLMs to the people, and to your own computer - Introducing the latest Mozilla Innovation Project llamafile, an open source initiative that collapses all the complexity of a full-stack LLM chatbot down to a single file that runs on six operating systems."
https://future.mozilla.org/blog/introducing-llamafile/
I'm honestly more interested by the OS-agnostic executable than by the LLM here. How?
Here's the answer, but I have absolutely no idea what it means...

Six?
Edit: they counted Unix 3 times.
Seems to me like they counted Unix 5 times.
