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.

GNOME 46 is all the more important with it appearing in the likes of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Fedora 40 this spring.
More profiling instrumentation has been added for helping to uncover performance bottlenecks.
Fixing a performance problem due to repeated signal leak.
