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 am not sure. KDE is very customizable and I like the... regular way apps work, trays work, decorations work and all that. Also GNOME is like the anti-poweruser desktop. I like its style, but its like "use a terminal or nothing". Needing extra apps for every small thing and all...
The downside maybe is stability... and Gnome does some things well, like quicksettings and all.
I also like that GTK is easier to develop for probably, with Gnome Builder and similar tooling. But at the same time, the UI would be pretty much unusable for complex apps like Dolphin.
I tried Gimp 3.x prerelease and well, GTK3 is weird, its already this step away from the more similar styles.
Well rebasing is pretty nice, its swapping out the foundation while keeping the top intact. For things like Kinoite->Ublue-kinoite-main its just a reboot.
Do you need to pin the last working ostree before rebasing? I guess I want an easy way to switch between working environments without a lot of rebasing.
Not necessarily if you dont have automatic updates or update manually. Only one backup is kept though, so yeah,
sudo ostree admin pin 0Neato. I have a strategy now for messing around.
