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.

Some of the more interesting points:

transition from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker
package-agnostic App Center
simplified installation experience that dramatically reduces complexity during partitioning and storage configuration
new onboarding experience that moves personalization and system setup into a dedicated first-boot experience. Rather than asking users to make every decision during installation
on-device speech-to-text engine integrated as a native desktop input method, providing a foundation for fast, private, and offline voice interaction

Wish there was a better text-to-speech engine rather than speech-to-text. I tend to want my computer to speak to me more than I want to speak to my computer.

Guess that’s just me.

I assume you are talking about eSpeak? It sounds very robotic (and bad). Maybe Mozilla's TTS is an option, I don't know. Source https://github.com/mozilla/TTS and some examples https://erogol.com/ddc-samples/ .
