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.

Flathub has fuzzy seaech or it searches within the text of apps. GNOME's Software strictly finds apps if you type them correctly. This is an issue as well
Incredible how fast we see flatpak improving and spreading throughout the ecosystem.
Better flatpak curation poggers 😯😯
Why do app screenshots need a shadow? In their example they even showed Kodi in fullscreen.
And how can you easily do that as well?
