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.

“Finally” really is the key word, waiting for Proton to add features or apps is painful at times.

Glad they’ve finally made progress with this.

Waiting for Proton to acknowledge and fix critical bugs that can cause data loss was way more painful.. took them years with the solution being "just wait for the bridge rewrite it will be (most likely) fixed there".
