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.

Imagine using ubuntu
Ubuntu has an installer that largely works. I just went through trying to install Bazzite (fedora), it insisted that I needed another -890GB of space. At best, I managed to get to where it errored out at the end of another install attempt, and left a broken grub setup.
🤔I think must have understood something wrong there?
EndeavorOS, linux mint, OpenSuse, many more use Calamares as installer, which is very similar (or the same, I don’t know exactly) as ubuntu uses.
