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.

What does "enabled" mean?
e.g. Fractal can scale down to mobile:
Are these your screenshots? If so, what hardware and OS are you running, out of curiosity?
Yes, they are mine. I guess the question is targeted if they are done on a mobile device. The screenshots are done on Fedora Silverblue Gnome on a Dell XPS 13 laptop developer version (~7 years old). But I also have the Librem 5.
You can put the newer apps in a 'simulate phone screen' mode (it's still in development).
Hey, Fractal looks pretty cool. Might just replace Element.
Lacks many features atm, eg VoIP, matrix call, threads, etc. Still very promising and I like that it is written in Rust.
I like Commet
oh, very cool
Sounds fractal
