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 currently only use Linux in a VM, but Fedora Kinoite! Immutable distros need more love
Fedora Silverblue user checking in. I've broken my system many times over the years, and I've yet to break this one.
Semi-random: I was happy to see so many Flatpak being released for
arm64too (as I'm on "Apple Silicon", working great by the way)Tip for others with ARM: the Fedora official download page only lists Kinoite 38 for arm and Siilverblue 37 and no Sway, BUT they all work perfectly fine if you rebase with
rpm-ostreeafter installing Kinoite. The power of image-based updates!
