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.

Endlessly reading on social media that is not a good from Linux "gurus". LOL
It's been great for me, but I wish it had a official gui for permissions management.
Are you aware of flatseal?
If you are, is there an issue with using it for you?
Flatseal is good, just not official.
It's as official as it gets. The XDG team provides the underlying infrastructure, and the community provides the tools.
I'm not sure why/if that matters honestly, aside from discoverability I guess.
