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.

How is this better than the alternatives?
If you have a paid plan you can generate SimpleLogin aliases directly when generating a login on a webpage. It's a very nice feature.
Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.
I didn't know that! Although I don't pay for SL, I get it as part of my Proton sub.
Yes, me too. I was pointing out that SL can be used without Proton Pass.
