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.

I have just installed Xubuntu 23.04 (minimal edition) and removed the snaps. I forgot how fast and nice Xfce actually is. I really like using it, coming from a window manager and Arch. The only downside that I found is the Ubuntu repos; yes, they have most stuff but they're just old (even on 23.04). I hope I won't feel the need to distro-hop anymore. I just wanted to share my positive experience with yall because I don't think Xubuntu gets any attention. :D
