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.

It's an article about Ubuntu 24.04 on an Ubuntu-centric blog. It's looking at that particular OS and whatever the OS uses. It doesn't use KDE and it doesn't use vanilla GNOME. As an Ubuntu 22.04 user who's considering upgrading to 24.04 and is curious what's in it, the fact that PPD is used elsewhere is a mere coincidence. 😊
