is this an advertisement?
also, is it really the world leading oss firewall distro?
I'm no expert but I have never heard of it, even though I'm not exactly new to Linux. in contrast, OPNSense and pfSense is quite popular

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.

It's certainly existed for years and it's a nice release, such as it is. However, the absolute lack of IPv6 and abject refusal to incorporate WireGuard for Reasons^TM^ led to me going back to OpenBSD and OpenWRT, personally. They seem to have a WIP towards finally incorporating WireGuard, but IPv6 is still AWOL, which is fatal for my use-case.
