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.

aren't I super clever for managing to create this hideously complicated Rube Goldberg machine to solve a problem caused by people not communicating with each other

It's amazing how with a language as fragmented as c++ that everyone seems to be independently discovering warts in the proposed module implementation and no one seems to be coordinating things to enforce consistency across compilers. I get these are all separately maintained projects but god no ones gonna use the thing if everything supports it differently.
