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 thought we were past this as a society 😔
A curl piped into a shell or some unofficial packages from various distros.
At this point I don't get why these projects are not Flatpak-first.
Flatpak is worse for debugging, development, and reproducibility.
Its good for user friendly sandboxing, portability, and convenience.
Flatpaks are reproducible https://ranfdev.com/blog/flatpak-builds-are-not-reproducible/
You see the conclusion of that article is that flatpaks are not repeoducible after presenting solutions to make it reproducible right?
