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 wish they focused more on passthrough, windows projected in real life (so AR) rather than the black space you now have in the background.

Also, it for some reason uses Nix as it's build/install system. I've read through their issues talking about it and I get their reasoning, but there is no way I'm installing this in my system if I have to use Nix and install it as root...

They should upstream their forked stuff and make it compilable with system dependencies 🤔

I'm sure it's nice, but it shouldn't be forced upon me by some random software project. I don't use Nix, I don't have a need for Nix. But if I want to install this project, for some reason I suddenly need to edit my root system to install some package manager I'm never using.
