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'm not going to use this name, but it is the most accurate one.

...as much as I love linux, I find that it's way too common to name software completely removed from its function.

of the same package on Flathub the main ones i had issues with was Kdenlive, Zoom, and OBS.

It means I probably won't fix bugs.

does flathub do version control?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what version control implies in this case. Still, we can downgrade version of packages that we installed by Flatpak.
