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.

@InternetPirate I've been happy with Ubuntu since 2007, I don't always like Canonical's choices, but they're easily changed. Recently tried Vanilla OS, easy install and seems solid, good alternative to Nix I think.

With each release unsnapping gets more annoying... Now I have to get Firefox from alternative sources...
@manpacket I prefer Flatpak, but Snaps do seem to be getting better, then again I have a history of foolish optimism 🤔

$ flatpak run org.gimp.GIMPThey still haven't figure out how to make console experience not miserable, maybe one day...
how is that miserable?
From what I understand from this page and other sources - you have to type that to run
gimpor other app. At least that's the impression I'm getting from the documentation. I run most of my stuff from the console and don't like to use aliases.Fake news.
flatpak install gimp, in terminal, try it.
