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.

Highlights

  • Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils and sudo-rs
  • TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption now considered stable
  • More secure services (don't run as root if not needed, AppArmor profiles)
  • AppArmor prompting for snaps is still experiemental unfortunately

It’s supported but buggy as hell. If you have an ipu6 laptop with a MIPI camera, the camera won’t work. Some worked in 24.04 but neither 25.x release nor the 26.04 beta work yet. And for me at least I have a (not my choice of laptop) actually supported with Ubuntu Dell machine.

And even without that, it seems to suffer from random lag - I can’t seem to fathom what causes that at all.

I’ve been told I should have gotten an AMD machine, but this is for work and had to be supplied through an “approved vendor” so I was limited to what they had available.
