Linux
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 never thought I'd witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime
You might still not. Make sure to look both ways when crossing the road.
Is this a threat?
fyi at least in the US you are only legally allowed to make death threats (or carry them out for that matter) if you are actively driving a motor vehicle at the time, please for your own safety if you are going to murder someone or threaten to murder them, do it behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or you could end up in serious trouble with the law!
Yeah, cars suck.
Careful. You might get hit by a bus.
I've been binging the Final Destination movies, this is coming p close.
Hold your horses. An RC is not a release. I don't trust it.
The third one is almost impossible. Ask Valve.
Oh man, I’m SO EXCITED for GIMP 3. I’ve been wanting these features in GIMP for literally decades.
Beautiful work .... I really don't mind the long wait between releases ... the previous Gimp 2.0 versions were so robust and practical that they have lasted for close to 20 years
In the early 2000s, I started off with cracked version of photoshop before I discovered GIMP and as soon as I did, I stuck with them since. They've saved me several thousand dollars in software costs over the past 20 years that I really don't mind waiting for the latest major release.
They can take their time releasing 3.0 for all I care. I'm still using 2.10 and I probably will for the next long while until 3.0 becomes stable. They've done a mountainous amount of work already and I congratulate them on everything.
This makes me realize too that I should probably donate something to their community for all the money they've saved me over the years.
The problem with gimp 2 is that it depends on python2 which is EOL
damn I have been using this damn program for... decades?
I have been yelling at it in frustration for equally as long... but seriously in terms of raw, no bullshit, consistent utility to people, GIMP deserves an immense amount of credit.
obviously looking forward to the non destructive editing updates and darktable integration sounds really nice, big fan of darktable.
darktable kicks ass and I say that as someone who hates editing photos almost as much as I like taking them!
