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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

Minetest doesn't have to turn into Roblox, we already have OpenBlox for that purpose
Edit: person below is now accusing me of promoting crypto
Cool so, you linked to some git repositories that haven't been updated in 4-5 years, and looking at their current website there seems to be some sort of crypto involved now.
Edit: I meant to say as well, that they appear to have closed their source, despite the "open" in the name.
They're not to be confused, the lead dev's (openblox.org) one was made on 2014 before some crypto dipshittos (openblox.IO) around 2018 took their name
Okay, but openblox.org doesn't resolve a website at all, directing users instead to a domain registrar.
Lead dev no longer renews that domain for the site. Thats why the repo needs to be revived
Okay... So it sounds like a dead project to me? When Luanti seems to have a huge community around it already...
Minetest has been more a platform for making games on than a single game for at least a decade, since they added lua scripting. Seems like you're outraged over nothing with no real understanding of what Luanti has been and aims to be.
