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.

:shrug:, never had to deal with it
You will have to at some point; whether you want to or not. CGNAT is the future of IPv4.
May IPv4 just die.
It's dead already. Problem is that in the year of the lord 2023 ipv6 still isn't really a thing yet, so IPv4 remains on life support.
If you're already using IPv6 for everything, you don't need to care about CGNAT in IPv4. I highly doubt that's the case however.
