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.

Followup to why you should switch to Nobara Linux. Also, some scripts I've compiled for distro hopping the fedora flavors.

If you aren’t familiar with Immutable operating systems, well here’s the shortest way I can describe it: Immutable Linux refers to a type of Linux operating system where the core system files are set to be unchangeable, or "immutable." This means that these core files cannot be modified during regular use, which helps in preventing accidental or malicious alterations. This approach enhances security and stability, as it reduces the risk of system corruption or attacks. Users can still install and update software, but these actions are typically handled in a way that keeps the core system untouched.

Very well put!

The Firefox install (although lacking any detail) may be

missing "use portal" setting in about:config
missing decorations so it saves space but the Gnome style ones suck as the hitbox is not in the corner

Kubuntu really is a mess, dont recommend to anyone. Their installer sucks! And its like, one of the most known Distros...

I recommend the SyncThingy Flatpak, it just works.

Thank you for the feedback. SyncThingy is awesome. I can't believe I didn't know about it.

Wtf are people so upset about?

Yes Syncthingy was one of the last things I needed to find before switching to Kinoite.

...Before QGis and Rstudio which I run in a Fedora39 Distrobox including the iucar/cran COPR and R-CoprManager
