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.

Interesting. Actually FP is really good for running proprietary software, thanks to confinement/sand-boxing.
Not so good for OSS software, which are better in native flavor.
But I hope they can make flatpak work properly. Make Drag'n'Drop of files work not only on GTK4.
But FP maintainers are pretending that this is Qt and GTK3 tams problem. They invented this portals as new free-desktop way, and want everybody to adopt spec.
