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.

You can always download it as an extension instead of a system package for the extension, but yeah, it's available on our repos.

Also, pretty good. It will likely never be as many packages as there are in Debian's repos, but even without Flatpak there was never a package I couldn't find either in our repos or on COPR.
