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.

Do we have an extension apocalipse again, or is it a "bump supported version" type update?

The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.

Didn’t know that’s possible. How?

Still just experimental fractional scaling...

I don't think the rounded circles for buttons in the file dialog looks good, but that's hopefully just the default theme.

There is no alternative theme

That's bad. It really doesn't look good. Oh well.
