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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content
- No hate speech, bigotry, etc

Just here to add that, yes, Snaps are very broken. Do not use them if you value your time or well-being.
The annoying thing is that Canonical dishonestly co-opts your
aptinvocations for snap installations, so you're likely to waste hours of your life trying to figure out why the thing you installed doesn't work or takes forever to launch randomly. And they keep Snapifying more of their distro, so even things like GNOME packages are only available as Snaps.Snaps are basically the only reason I don't use Ubuntu.
Thats kinda worse even than I thought :/
Thank you for sharing additional perspective I appreciate it!
