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.

So like Mozilla Prism?
Do you mean Webrunner, or Chromeless?
It's Prism still around? I used it back in the day but I thought it had been discontinued.
Nah, it is disconinued since many years, I thought it was kinda neat at first, but realized it would be faster to just use the full firefox browser instead.
Yes
Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.
Nativefier was great. I recall that project struggling at the end really needing funding.
Oh no I didn't realize it had ended! Maybe someone else will pick it back up.
