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.

Nice little QoL tweak that I'm sure app developers will like.

I do wonder if this'll be present in the Gnome/Plasma/other software centres though. If it's just reflected on the site I'm not sure how many will see it.

I've seen similar banners on GNOME software, where those built manually?

I have seen mockups of GNOME adapting a similar banner style as what Flathub. We might have to wait for GNOME 47 though.
