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.

It also isn't an operating system. It's an application that you install on an existing OS.
Could the company decide to lock it to only their hardware? Probably. Could they take money in exchange for preferred listings? Yup.
And if it gets shitty, like OP said, it is just a layer on top of Docker. You can leave it.
CasaOS was key in easing me into the world of Docker. I understand general use enough to be comfortable installing without Casa and jumping into compose files and such. But I'll still check out the store for apps sometimes just for ease of use.
Whole post is just a rant against something that OP apparently doesn't know anything about.
