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.

Did not know this. Immutable Ubuntu plus flatpack sounds awesome. Not sure what to think about their plans to fork cosmic from GNOME.
I'm really looking forward to their implementation of tiling. If they manage to design a desktop which stays mostly out of the way while delivering 1st class tiling I'll give it a shot. Gnome does have extensions, but they just don't feel right to me (buggy etc), unlike what the likes of sway and hyprland deliver.
It would've been great if they contributed to Gnome instead, but there was some bad blood between them iirc. And it's open whether it'll be another Unity and how well other distros implement it.
