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.

Less of a feature but a major fix in my eyes is the software store not refreshing the view constantly while you're trying to do stuff. From what I understand its not an easy fix though, and is a product of how something is built on the backend or something 🤷🏻♂️
they are building bazaar to replace/fix it. at least that's what it looks like from previous instances.
you can install it now through flatpak and it's working really well. fixes all of the MANY issues with gnome software and it's quite a breeze to use.
Oh neat! I didnt know that, thanks! ☺️
