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.

Great!
Is it something which is gonna be naturally added to Fedora or should I download something specific?
The article wasn’t clear to me or maybe I’m not technical enough.
chromecast is proprietary so it's likely not gonna be included by default
As long as GND is open source I don't think that that's necessarily a problem. Though patents on the Chromecast protocol, if any, might be.
You can just download the app from Flathub right now and it should hopefully make its way directly into GNOME in the future. At least some work was being done to implement this directly into it.
Okay then I guess I’ll just wait until it’s directly implemented in GNOME as it might be more stable 👍
It seems stable enough already TBH, at least from my small testing with the app. It's more about getting things ready to be exposed in the settings app and in the system.
