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.

You can't easilyy switch between different inages like on an atomic fedora system.

Do you have to switch now? No.

Hopefully we get an official XFCE Atomic desktop someday.

You can create a ublue version in a few hours if you're down to it. Creating an inage isn't that difficult 👍🏼
