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.

Flatpak has its issues, sure, but it’s better and more open than snap, while maintaining utterly simple usability.
I never really understood flatpak hate.
The storage use is negligible nowadays.
Permission requests feel way more user friendly and modern.
Finally linux has a universal package and people still hate it. It's probably one of the best things to happen to linux in years
I LOVE MANAGING DEPENDENCIES WITH apt AND BUILDING FROM SOURCE
