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.

Ubuntu Core Desktop is an immutable distro, takes a different path than most other immutable distros.

The entire OS is built using snaps, including the kernel and bootloader
Uses snaps instead of flatpak
Prefers LXD over distrobox and other projects that use podman

As a former Ubuntu user, I’m more likely to try Fedora Silverblue at this point.

I like Podman so swapping it out for LXD isn’t compelling.

Fedora Silverblue is great, it's my daily driver.
