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.

No shit how? I actually used it because of damn distrowatch, it is solid but damn Debian based. Had to switch because the Nextcloud version was outdated and didnt work with an updated server.
And there was no flatpak, snap, or appimage?
Half of my packages are from nix unstable. Stable base + bleeding edge userland.
Yes there was but I was literally installing a distro recommended on Distrowatch, so you can estimate my knowledge back then.
I'm currently running MX because I went to DW and checked what's popular. It wasn't the only one I hopped through, but that's how I first learned about it.
Did you check out the MX package installer at any point? It's got flatpak integration, but I'm wondering if it's obvious for beginners.
I have no idea, I may have to give it another try.
Currently experimenting with atomic CentOS though, and rpm-ostree always wins
I mean, if it is just the client app you could see if the Flatpak version works better. ^^
The Flatpak lacks Filemanager integration but thats pretty okay
