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.

Auto updates works really well for me so far!

I've wanted this for years; in the past manually flashing the privileged extension after every system update was such a pain that I quickly gave up on it.

This is why regulation is a good thing.

There's good and bad regulation. The EU is putting some really good laws in place, but there's enough with bad (side) effects too.

Anyway, I'm happy to report that unattended updates work as they should sith F-Droid Basic for a while now.
