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'll be honest, I kinda hate snaps on Ubuntu. They work well enough, but things like updates are never automatic and generally just a pain in the ass. I'm at the point where I really want to experiment with bedrock Linux to have ubuntu's kernel for built in ZFS and have debian repos for less shit decisions.
On my steam deck, I've become fond of flatpaks and similar experiences because they help preserve the software across updates ensuring I don't have to constantly reinstall things but that's a niche issue given the nature of how steam manages the os on a steam deck
