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.

Maybe but I did scroll and install/testing softwares for 3 hours, I also learn how to compile simpler software from sources that don't have any build instruction because some of the stuff I found only available on flathub. There's a few vibe coded softwares too despite Flathub banning ai generated code
