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.

Hm, not sure about that tbh.
Fedora is a nice base but has the missing codec problem and their silly fedora flatpak remote. Ublue fixes that.
So
Done. From them on just go to the GUI store and install apps.
Not everything there is well integrated like toolbox, so you will need the terminal for now.
Wrong thread?
No an example of how recent developments made it easy
Yeah, but Ubuntu has had non-free codecs and drivers in their repos for decades, that's not new, Fedora just recently found a way to stop shooting themselves in the foot.
Huh? Rpmfusion is pretty old and ublue is not official fedora. Even though it should be.
So? I still don't get what any of this has to do with Linux being easy for a long while.
