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.

Fedora, then Debian and then the rest? 😏
Debian was placed at average, he told „the Desktop is outdated“ I believe.
That's hilarious. Lazy and hilarious!
I mean... It's true though. He explained he usually used newer hardware and he doesn't want ancient packages, but goes on to say it's not as bad as it used to be because you can at least have up-to-date apps by using flatpaks.
It's a completely reasonable take. Not everybody wants packages/DEs on their system that are often *years* behind.
IIRC, Debian only just progressed beyond Gnome 3.38, Plasma 5.20, kernel 5.10, etc. that is old AF.
You can add repositories though?
