Why is everything a folder? What does a debian or android folder do?

Yes, everything will be a folder in plasma 6, including applications, don't worry, you I'll love the new Firefox folder. Its the natural progression of things, don't try to stop it.

Everything's previously a file, now everything is a folder

Look forward to Plasma 6 where everything will be an application. Downloads folder? That's an application now. A font you just installed? Application. The video you just downloaded? You guessed it

It's deb, not Debian, so I'd assume it's the icon for .deb files (which are browsable archives).

It folds Debian to prevent Debian prions

Debían no idea... But I guess android could be android studio folders or similar stuff?

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.
