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.

Perhaps I'm just not the target audience for a pretty UI rework but it really grinds my gears to see it be running in Firefox. A whole browser for a GUI is insane?? I'm sure it will improve with time but when it loaded on my VM it reminded me of a virus opening a browser window.
I guess, the idea is mainly that you can also perform the installation over the network. I can imagine this being quite cool for setting up a Raspberry Pi or similar.
What really? I thought the screenshot looked like electron/web app slop but I was like, maybe they've just gone for a "modern" gtk/qt theme. It's actually just a Firefox PWA?
Yeah, it's explicitly built to run in a browser: https://agama-project.github.io/
