Man, even "Area 51 has aliens" is a better and more backed up conspiracy theory than this. Kernel AC isn't to please MS, nor is it to shit on Linux/Steam Deck. They don't matter. They're inexistent. They'r

Ah, yes, simple text files that describe concepts, and that may contain references to other concepts, or references to dive in deeper. We could even call these something like a link. And they form a sort of... web, maybe ? Close enough, wel
