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.

I love cinnamon, now you kids get off my lawn
My Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese mini desktop is running the Fedora Cinnamon spin. Works great! And Cinnamon is the best Gnome experience in existence anymore.
I love apt more than I love cinnamon, now scram!
I spent years running Ubuntu. I've typed 'sudo apt-get install' so many times I got carpel fingernail from doing it. 'sudo dnf install' is less typing and could have saved my fingernails. Now I use Kinonite and have all updates set to automatic and I very seldom even need to do anything at all.
Yes, I'm old, lazy, and can't be bothered anymore. Why do you ask? ;)
How about
yay
Even more simple, and now guess the update command
Yea, it is just
yay
Damn I love endeavourOS (Arch for lazy people)
Edit: ohh, automatically, yea, for that I use opensuse TW as it updates automatically prior shutdown
Cinnamon is the second of five attempts to defuckulate Gnome that I'm aware of, and my personal favorite.
Yep. Mine too. At this point it's the best modern take on Gnome 2.
