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.

Recently switched to bluefin from workstation, I was initially a bit held back by all of the GNOME customisations, but they're pretty straightforward to revert back to default. While I like the idea of automatic updates it would be nice if it integrated with GNOME software to make it easier to control. Otherwise if you're looking for an immutable/atomic desktop and want it to pretty much work out of the box I would highly recommend
You can turn off all the extentions etc and make it a default Gnome desktop, but the documentation could be a better, since it's all on the forums.
Oh, it's actually in the announcement post https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introduction-to-bluefin/41
Their instructions aren't quite right, I did find that I had to change the icon theme back to adwaita myself using GNOME tweaks.
