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.

My partner tried popos and it was awful. Iirc, it didn't even seem to support her multiple monitors? I can't remember for sure, but we had some issues and bailed pretty quickly. She and I both are now rocking Kubuntu, which, as you mentioned, was a much easier transition from Windows for her (and me), though I'd have her try bazzite today if Kubuntu wasn't already set up.
That is an oddity. Wish she'd filed a bug report. Unfortunately there will always be edge cases, but I'm glad to hear Kubuntu is working out. I disagree with Canonical on a lot of things, but I'd still rather see people using (K)Ubuntu than Windows.
