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’ve been using the Flatpak version of Ungoogled Chromium for a while now (for websites that don’t work natively with Librewolf). Is this really that new?
The one on Flathub is unofficial, presumably this one is official
Thankfully Librewolf still uses AppImage as an option.
The only Flatpak I bother with is the Kodi one because my distro has incompatible (read stable) library version on several things for compiling it and I'm considering just jumping to jellyfin for that, as well.
