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.

Thank you! I've been hesitant to install a whole bunch of extensions but vitals and astra monitor look great, I'm going to try them out this week and see which I prefer.
I've been avoiding flathub, it just doesn't seem like my cup of tea but I may have to reconsider and take a proper look at it because it sounds better than a browser extension ngl
I was just so surprised that a terminal that supports tabs doesn't have generic tab switching, at least I know I'm not crazy now for not enjoying Gnome terminal lol
I promise the giant cursor is a useful feature even though so many people have thought it was a weird bug lol I constantly do it when I'm trying to figure out how to word an email and on the very rare occasion where I can't find my cursor it has actually been helful!
