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.

kubuntu 26.04 minimal install: keep the ubuntu and apt you're familiar with, skip the unnecessary or unwanted junk (including snapd) at install time, and get the option of using btrfs filesystem (which is not possible with the main ubuntu installer).
one note: you won't even have a web browser out-of-the-box, and snap-powered 'firefox' package exists in ubuntu repos. so if adding mozilla's deb repo, do not forget the step where you adjust your sources priorities so 'sudo apt install firefox' pulls from mozilla instead of ubuntu.
