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.

OBS also is available on flatpak officially AFAIK.

But OBS is exactly the type of thing you'd expect to find on Flathub. What you don't usually find is any sort of mainstream software. I can't even get official Proton releases on Flathub.

It is! And OBS is awesome. But it is not proprietary.
