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.

Do they do LXQt upgrades within the release? Would be a shame to have no Wayland for so long

Thanks. Didn't know that Lubuntu did choose for a dot me domain name. TIL the Lubuntu mascot is called ... Lenny.

I've tried the Ubuntu Beta on an old laptop and that gave fatal errors during installation. Tempting to see whether Lubuntu would save the day.
