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.

Currently it supports AppImage, but Flatpak version will possibly be available in future: https://github.com/iDescriptor/iDescriptor/issues/1

Idk I was considering it, I have another friend who’s very social and has had an android forever. He’s in a different friend group in another state. I assumed he must be being included based on all the social stuff he’s doing. He recently got an iPhone and said he was added to a bunch of group chats he didn’t know existed and he was missing out on stuff. So that made me not want to switch away.

I absolutely hate that. I'd rather just not be friends with those people. I'd think less of them if they're not smart enough to use a messaging group that works on more than one type of phone.
