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.

Equating Android and desktop linux isnt very accurate. Terminal on android is very limited compared to linux. Many common softwares are still installed with commands and occasionally need maintenance and most are done via commands.
Recently helped a few setup ubuntu as dual boot. Installation isnt always smooth and most accompanying software stores are buggy or dont have many commonly used softwares.
Endeavour + pamac > Ubuntu + snaps
Cant comment on endeavour as I've not used it. Not fan of snaps either and go for deb when on ubuntu. Now pop doesnt even have snaps by default.
Only reason I might install snap is becos I want to try microk8s and not setup a full on k8s cluster.
There is also Nix package manager that people can have fun with
Are you saying i can try microk8s via kix rather than snap? If so more reason to learn and setup nix manager.
Apparently not, they aren’t deploying it any other way
It’s a shame but I guess it’s canonical
