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.

As much as I don't care to use Ubuntu anymore, I will always be grateful for giving 15-year-old me a comfortable and easy transition into Linux. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, I think I still have one of the CD-ROMs they used to mail out somewhere.
If it didn't jam snap down your throat, I'd maybe take a look.
Yeah. That's why I switched to Mint a couple of years ago.
It used to be so good back then but everything else has got better while Ubuntu has got worse
Eh. Do they still have Ubuntu Pro ads in the update UI? If so: stop, then I’ll care.
I sometimes see it in the CLI when running apt update/upgrade. I've just tricked my mind to look past it.
