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 hope you turn on DCT because docker image downloads are totally insecure by default.

What's DCT? I'm not actually running Docker but Kubernetes.

Docker Content Trust. Its the (off by default and pretty broken) way that docker would verify what it downloads wasn't maliciously modified
