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.

Very nice new features, but I can't believe we still have that archaic Estuary skin as default!

Kodi continues to be a cornerstone in the media playing space. Thank you for all the years of great media watching experience!

Honestly, with the right extensions, it can do pretty much anything a streaming box or smart TV can do.
