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.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, mee too. However, there wouldn't be any Tenacity without Audacity. Besides, Tenacity looks quite far from upstream commits. Doesn't paint a bright future for the fork. I wish more devs offered their help.

tenacity development looks somewhat moribund and lacks so many of audacity's added features and fixes like pasting audio. tenacity's release porting audacity's added realtime effects, beats and measures view, and opus support has only been present in an alpha released eight months ago.

They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.
