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.

Use brioche, it holds up better in the custard…

Real maple syrup. Accept no substitutes.

A dash of nutmeg.

Also don't forget to add some glue.

That's genius! I hate when the nutmeg falls off my French toast. Using nontoxic glue to hold it down would be perfectly safe and there would be zero negative consequences

Linux Mint XFCE and Xubuntu should be very similar.

That said, I'd go with Mint because of their focus on usability instead of enshittification.

Can you calm down a bit?

You probably saw Cinnamon and want that. XFCE is the same whether you use it on Xubuntu or Mint.
