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.

I think you're supposed to use
brewon uBlue.Wow, I always thought it was MacOS only, how interesting!
I've done this, like with gping. It's great.
ie. "The Gnome Way"* exported to the OS as a whole.
* Strip all features but allow them back as plugins that aren't supported or secured.
I don't think you understand the point of an immutable distro.
