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.

Can't wait for them to add Ubuntu Protect so they can remove malicious software like Flatpak. /s

Hey Canonical, how about you spend that effort fixing (or removing) snap instead?

I still can't open the default Firefox install when using NFS home directories with autofs.

Ubuntu is now almost useless in an actual business desktop environment.
