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.

I really thought that the effort of Fedora integrating flatpaks with their atomic spins meant that flatpak development was anything but lacking. I wonder if Redhat's budget falls too short to take a look at those PRs? Specially for the replacement of pulseaudio, giving mic permissions because you allowed audio to go through your speakers really shouldn't be a thing. Great summary either way
