Linux

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.

Great to see progress! Why is it behind their official github releases though? Latest version is 2024.10.2 and not 2024.09.0. It is four releases meaning more than a month behind.

It’s the winapps author! By the way, winapps looks cool! I never was able to get it working though because I was using Wayland.

Hah, yup, that's me, too. Sorry it didn't work out, a team have done some updates to it that may work now, unfortunately I've never been able to get a hold of them.
