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.

Imagine launching a flatpak when your computer is already overloaded 💀
Are flatpaks really that bad? Why would they even require more resources?
Because they load their own copy of all libraries, 300MB of Gnome and whatnot, just to display you a task manager?
Thats not true
Nothing stopping anyone from building the source and running against native libraries is there?
