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.

Man... I just installed kubuntu... but mx sounds like it may be worth it. What do I get over ubuntu for a desktop type workstation, that won't do much except for Firefox, Spotify and minecraft?
Just less updates and no snaps and none of canonical things.For those who want a minimal system.
Yeah, happy with apt.
Is less updates an issue? And do you mean for less time, or less in general?
Less in general
