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.

I still have hope.

I'm still on 4.1

Any major features since then, or mostly bloat?

[–] Turbo@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I'm using flatpack version which is much more up to date.

I think the big thing is compatibility with current Microsoft office versions.

So there is benefit from being on a newer version unless you're only using Libre and not sending each other people who are opening it in Microsoft office versions.
