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.

This dude is just an interim CEO, and he's only an interim CEO for Unity because he's a special contractor for the largest investing company in Unity. He's only there to do normal duties while the board looks for a full time CEO.

It's just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days
