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.

It was planned to be based on Arch ~~btw~~ fyi.
Very curious. I didn't know this. I tried verifying this, but didn't manage to do so.
So, I got to ask; Was this just a joke? Or is there (some) truth to this claim?
I would take a lot of time to find. Search in old TLE videos I guess. If he made news about it, there should be links to the sources too.
