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.

The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) was an interesting announcement recently from a few bigger names, but the CachyOS team opted out of it and now we know why.

I feel it's a red flag that you don't find the blatantly transphobic slur a "problematic statement", let alone the belittlement of other project members and defense of "abusing" people, as he put it. Not to mention he's been banned from other projects for violating their codes of conduct.

These screenshots don't do justice to his aggressive behavior and mistreatment of other project maintainers, including his own team.

Can you help me out and point me to the transphobic slur in the linker Screenshots? Maybe i do not get "the slang" because Kam not actually familiar with it.

OK, if it is not within the linked Screenshots then it is lacking context for me. Thats why I asked for mode context. To better understand.

It's one of the 3 things highlighted in red, I don't know how to help you there. I'm not repeating a slur. Look up words you don't understand; it's really not hard to find.
