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.

I personally don't have a use for a mail client so majority of this update is useless to me but there are few interesting features I may get used to especially on my laptop.

I couldn't care less about memory usage on my desktop with 64GB RAM but on my laptop that's a different story. The Break Mode sounds also stupid at first but I may actually have use for it, will try and see.

I use a mail client... but it's beyond me why I'd want that to be part of my web browser.
