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.

It's the GUI software manager, I think the LM developers should get a pass at curating selections for users who wouldn't know any better.
I personally think they can make it a total non-issue if they put in "some unverified results hidden, see settings to change".
Exactly. Linux mint is one of the few distros that really follow through that their users may not be proficient.
It's why it's my business distro of choice.
Meanwhile they offer a deb repo for Spotify...
