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.

I haven’t used a non-server Ubuntu installation in quite a few years to see any of the others recently, but that’s one slick-looking wallpaper in my opinion.

Very cool, looking forward to getting it on my desktop in October. :)

Ubuntu 23.10 update notes--we removed apt because we want everybody to use snap

it's satire, there's no real change log yet. i just think snap should be a toggle if you want it or not. and sudo apt install Firefox shouldn't install snap Firefox

They don’t.
