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.

What do you mean? That they are based off Ubuntu?

They derived from Ubuntu to provide a better experience - what they did.

But they now go down the Ubuntu way with dumbing down the interface and holding back and/or hiding software they disagree with.

That's what Mint is for, like removing Snap from Ubuntu.

Yes. And now Flatpaks the don't like, too.

I'm happy with the distribution I use. But I now need something new to suggest to interested users.
