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.

what would you think if linux had a distro with no terminal and instead of that it would just tell you when to update your device?? (sopuli.xyz)

that would be fun and easy to use but that would mean no neofetch no terminal games no ls no vim no flatpak sadly would that be a good distro? i know about chromeos and android and i know linux users don't usually recognize those as linux distros but i do honestly

no flatpak

Erm, no? There are many GUI Software managers with Flatpaks Integration, for example GNOME software or KDE discover

which would just tell you when no update

About every major non diy distro does that

that would be fun and easy to use

For me at least it wouldnt be. If you dont want the terminal, just use something like mint, it has a GUI for everything you need

Also, why have no terminal? Its always a good backup for if you GUI stops working, and if you want GUIs for everything, that dosent mean the terminal has not to be there
