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.

Hasn't been released fully yet by the developer but looks interesting.

Edit: Video says repo is on its way

Using a YouTube link intentionally— better people redirect to their own choice piped or invidious instance that they're logged into (various redirect tools available)

Edit: Repo link here https://github.com/arcnations-united/evolve

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include "everything ad-free". And there's no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

He's Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.

on its way

Should be there before release. Shaaaady

But they get that schweet, schweet ad revenue... hatchacha~!

Assuming it’s gpl or something, you only need to provide the source with binary distributions of the product. Anyone in the patreon would have access to the source (I’m assuming)

before release

According to OP it hasn't been released yet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s available for download. And if you want it ad free, you pay for it.

Pretty certain the ads are in his YouTube videos and not his projecf

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So what’s the difference between the paid and the free download links?

[–] kzhe 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't think there is any, he just offered an early release to his Patron supporters (he didnt put the repo up yet)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

So why have two links to the same thing?

Weird, the video announcement states the software is FOSS. I think that's regarding his YouTube content and not this stuff. The video also states github is wip
