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 have always been discovering new things about Linux distros while distro hopping. And when I get something I really like, I just copy the package name and make sure I install it in every distro I use in the future.

Let me start:

  1. Clipboard manager (Gpaste)
  2. KDE connect

really sorry, I don't understand the point of this app. I mean, KDE connect works well, so why change?

Are you talking about a situation where it's not possible to install those Qt or KDE dependencies (then it might be useful to me)

Thank you for your output either way!
