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 does have a "All articles" view, :) I'll go for it. On Arch it depends on webkitgtk, which some time back was considered insecure, and webkit2gtk was supposed to be the only one to use. Perhaps that changed...
Thanks !
It depends on webkitgtk-6.0 which seems to be the latest version. Their versioning scheme is very confusing.
Edit: I get it now. The API version of WebKitGTK (6.0) is different from the project version of WebKit/WebKitGTK (2.41.*). This blog post was quite helpful: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2023/03/21/webkitgtk-api-for-gtk-4-is-now-stable/
Thanks !
