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.

What's better about QT6?
I'm with you on that. That's why I don't care about the defaults, out of the box experience, etc. I have my own defaults already.
Again, not all that much user facing, but a lot of under the hood stuff. Reading through the notes, the things that stood out to me: vulkan, direct3d and metal rendering instead of just OpenGL, better HiDPI support including fractional scaling, better concurrency/multi-core support, and bringing the supported development tools up to date.
