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.

Definitely going to check it out when they go beta. Sounds like a super stable daily driver (Gaming and light office work).

I use the stable version of vanillaOS and haven’t had any problems looking forward to 2.0

I tried it for a while, not for normal use really. Everything is sandboxed and slow as fuck.

I’ve been daily driving for over a year and can say otherwise

I was using the Ubuntu based version, and the alternate package managers were slow on my low end system.
