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.

It would be excellent if he could get fully funded through Patreon. I chipped in a bit, and I don't even use it--looks like a cool approach, though. There have to be enough enthusiasts out there to pitch in enough cups of coffee to cover his dev time.
I'm not sure how much of a cut Patreon takes, but it seems like there would be better options out there for non-profit foss projects, no? Liberapay maybe?
Even though librapay doesn't take a cut, the providers they use do. Someone is taking a cut; I just try to make it smallest with the least-shitty company. :) But it's tough, as a buyer, to find ways to pay people. I really wish creators would have obvious tip jars, and there was a standard way to tag them in HTML so search engines could find them.
It's a bit old, but Bcachefs did get merged into 6.7
