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.

But it may never see much progress on the WebUI for instance while Canonical has paying customers pushing and asking for it. They may appear inactive and it seems there aren't many people working on the project but who knows? Maybe they're setting up their own image server, repacking images etc.

Again, I'm all in favor of this change and I've a couple of systems running on both and will obviously migrate everything to Incus but I can't ignore the fact that enterprise money pushes Canonical todevelop things.
