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.

We really need to all stop promoting Fedora especially after what Red Hat did to the Community with CentOS and closing the code off from downstream.
Fedora is Red Hat in disguise.
Same goes for Canonical. They've decided to screw the Community and try force things on users, Communist style, so they can f right off too!
We should all only use 100% Community based distros and projects because they need our support and break their backs working for the Community.
For example Linux Mint, Debian, Arch, Slackware and others.
If you use Mint like I do, switch to Debian Edition and let the developers know that's where you prefer that focus first and then do the Ubuntu edition afterwards 👍
Fedora is like it or not one of the most influential and important Distros out there.
Fedora is and will always be cutting edge. They early adopt projects and technologies that absolutely become the standard.
No other distro has this much influence. SystemD, Pipe wire, and other such projects are the norm because Fedora pushed it.
And like it or not, Fedora will make this move very soon with Wayland. Wayland is our inevitable future, like it or not.
I don't see Arch, Debian, and others pushing things like this, but rather falling in line with Fedora.
Fixed that for you ;) .
