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.

Pretty good overall. I had Dolphin crash on me once, and even killing and restarting the process didn't help, only a system restart fixed the issue. Not sure what that was all about, I could access files just fine with other applications.

It also has some smaller bugs/lack of polish. The keyboard layout switch overlay/hint/toast appears at the correct position only for the first time, after that it snaps to the top-left corner of one of the connected displays.

I've also had the system tray icon popups reduce their width and height to 0 more than once, requiring a change in the config file under ~/.config to correct this issue.
