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.

Isn't Fedora Silverblue builds moving to OCI-based as well?
Yup, we've even been able to engage (to some extent) with it for the last couple of months.
It does require some know-how to set up, at least if you're unaware of uBlue; a community project that is set on offering said OCI images of Fedora Silverblue (batteries included) with different desktop environments (even those that aren't offered by Fedora (yet)). Bazzite, that has received some significant traction and exposure since it's very recent 1.0 image, is just one of the provided OCI images.
They even offer a very easy way for everyone to engage in building their own custom OCI image. I got mine spin up within two hours or so without knowing how git or containerfiles worked beforehand, it's that simple.
Hey, I've seen the "batteries included" thing several times related to ublue, but I don't understand what it means here. Could you explain?
I know what the idiom generally means - everything you need to get started - and even the origin of the expression. I just don't know what the metaphorical "batteries" are here.
@s20 @throwawayish whats the difference between idiom and boilerplate code
--- pardon my ignorance , haven't read the article yet
In this case, I'm using idiom in its "I was a Creative Writing Major at College" sense; that is:
So my use of the word here just means "expression" or "figure of speech," which is probably what I should have said in the first place; sorry for the confusion.
Edit: a grammatical correction no one but me would probably notice or care about.
