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.

Looking forward to it... Been meaning to switch to pipewire for a bit hoping it'll fix some sound issues I've been having but never getting around it to, and wanting to try KDE 6+ to see if it improves running stability/crashes (and again, haven't gotten myself around to doing it myself)

Probably even switch back to Cinnamon for a bit and see if it fixes the issues I was having with it

It's funny, I just switched to pulseaudio hoping it would fix some issues I've been having with pipewire. It did not.

Edit: I'm not on Mint, though, so best of luck.
