Linux

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.

Wow. A LOT is happening there.

Maybe I’ve been using Mint - Cinnamon for too long.

Need to get back and try KDE again, maybe OpenSUSE or something where KDE is 1st class citizen. Advices welcome 🤗

I can heavily recommend tuxedoOS, even on non-tuxedo machines. It's based on ubuntu but has snaps removed and only some small tuxedo apps installed :)
