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 7.6.0.3 won't auto update. Says there are no updates available. I'm trying a manual install.
If you installed it via your distribution's package manager, the maintainers should either push the package or backport the security fixes within the coming weeks.
There’s auto update?
It's something like
Help > About > Check for updates
Oh yeah. But it doesn’t auto update like Firefox or something.
I really wish it did. On windows I use winget to update it.
