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.

Good to see a lot of stuff getting done, but I REALLY wish they would work on fixing their update methods on Neon. Discover still won't open, and I can't use pkcon because of a dependency issue with kio-extras5 that I don't know how to fix (rather than install anything, pkcon just exits with a fatal error if it notices a problem with any package it would update... Leaving a backlog of other packages that could have been updated otherwise 😑). I can only use apt full-upgrade at this point. If someone at least knows how to fix the kio-extras5 issue, that would be great.
I'm also amazed at how the Neon QA team (if one exists?) missed the fact that the update broke the Shut Down button. No worries, I can just shutdown via KRunner - oops, that doesn't work either anymore
