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.

And that’s a perfectly fine position to have. I get most of my apps from Flathub.

I also think that Fedora Flatpaks should be allowed to exist. And most of them work without issues. They just don’t get as much testing as Flathub since the user base is smaller.

And that's a very good answer to a provocative message.
