      Woah woah woah, there’s a North Korean Linux distribution?

        Yes, of course. They can hardly use an OS that phones home to the US.

          It’s interesting because it’s essentially the opposite of the idea behind Linux. Using Linux specifically to censor and spy on people is diabolical, but it makes sense why they chose it.

            The idea behind Linux is to create an operating system anyone can use in any way they want.
            That includes the North Korean government using it to spy on their people.

              Sounds more like a BSD kind of idea, to be honest. The GNU idea is to let specifically end-users have control over their own computer, not some third-party.

      A meme Linux is the “most obscure” you can think of?

        Actually the Red Star developers seem very serious

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.
