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.

New article: Debian isn’t your only option
Yeah but it's the best one
Step 1: install Debian
Step 2: install a bunch of packages essentially making it Ubuntu
You are doing it wrong, then.
Step 3: Don’t install Snap & have a better time
Very true. Snaps are the worst. I don't even get why Canonical hasn't decided to just drop them already
Sunk cost fallacy?
Because they want control.
Then they need to make apt not work lol
They don't need to make it impossible to do anything else. They just need to make their shitty proprietary solution the lowest friction.
