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.

Looks like a cheap copy of MissionCenter... https://flathub.org/apps/io.missioncenter.MissionCenter
And Boxes looked like a cheap copy of Virtualbox. But now it's my daily driver because how good it is
Boxes is so... damn... unbearably... slow. Subpar virtualization.
Boxes does not do the virtualization
Either way, the end result is slow, the UI is basic... and the transition between the host and VMs fails half the time or performs bad like cursor going not where it is supposed to go.
So if GNOME does something everyone else is not doing, they're "fucking up", but if they follow what someone else has done that you like, they're just creating a "cheap copy"? How do they win?
