    A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…

    Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.

    Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.


  • In the Software Manager, whenever there is an update you must press “Restart & Install” in order to update. Never seen a restart not be required. Why would I not update when I would be potentially miss important security patches?

    Also I typically encrypt during install for enhanced privacy. Probably overkill but yeah. I don’t really have a specific reason other than that.

    My other system is Linux Mint 21.3 and restarts are very infrequent.
