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.

I rarely find a situation where I need a feature that doesn't exist that's important enough to me to implement it myself. It's a heck of a lot easier to just, for example, purchase things that already work with an existing home assistant integration.
I suppose I could contribute with bug fixes and such, but I have a lot of hobbies that I'm already busy with, and I do development work as my main job.
