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 thought this stopped working after MS pulled the Unix subsystem, as samba was using those attributes to manage the Linux systems?
I don't know. I just found this why looking for something else.
Grid by Zorin, whenever it gets released, will be what you want
But is it distro acrostic?
time will tell once it is released.
If it is at least somewhat distro agnostic and has commercial support available they will get lots of business.
Yep. i imagine the long time between initial announcement and still waiting, is getting it right for realease. At least I hope that is why it has taken so long
Zoin isn't exactly known for long term stability or regular releases. That why I can't really recommend it.
We need tooling but Zoin probably isn't where it will come from.
They seem to be fine lately, i had 16 last year 17 this year with updates...but I don't follow them closely since Nix and OpenSUSE are my main ones
