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 switch between three languages. Swiping is ass in my case.
Same here, all nice and good when it's English, but then switch to Hungarian or Slovak and shit breaks fast
Weird, works great for Polish.
I use swiping with Finnish/English/Swedish and it mostly works well enough, usually only very short words cause issues, but those I can just manually type anyway.
