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.

Ain't this is good for security and privacy?
A "security" that interrupts the user or prevents them from doing their work is bad, because it incentivizes the user to skip or disable it, and the use of a Linux system already can get most of the ways to do either of those via
${packagemanager} install. Thus it's more like security theatre.From what I gather, the wayland model of things is so ridiculous that it can't even provide for global hotkeys - which are, like, the guaranteed way to setup an interface the user can trust because it'll always mean that when the user users it. I doubt wayland would even be Magic SysRq keys-compatible.

What the other person said. I didn't even think magic sysrq keys I was thinking like some steam like overlay lmao
