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.

Can't wait for this to be released. IIRC a lot of it was built in the rust programming language which is a bit of interesting trivia

Was there ever an estimate on when this was supposed to be released?

I think they basically said when it was ready it'll be released and not before, which is good. But... I don't think they can skip too many release cycles with out releasing it. I know pop is getting regular updates but eventually I'd think they would still run into issues using the 22.04 base.

Damn.... I'm already looking forward to this. Looks promising.

I really hope this isn't just another Budgie DE which uses core GNOME tech. Reassuring to see the new Rust code.
