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.

Wow, I genuinely hate every single choice this distribution makes. I'm not sure there is an audience for this distribution but I don't mind having more choices.

It's always refreshing to see new point of views. I would have love to hear the reasons behind this distribution.

@LemmyPistolero Immutability is going to be that next hot button conversation. It has been making rounds with the likes of containerization strategies and such. Power Users are not going to be fans by default.
