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.

Perfection. Debian + GNOME Software + Flatpak = Rock solid and clean OS with the latest software.
There are a few things that still need to be ironed out tho. For eg. communication between desktop apps and browser extensions such as this.
Another thing I would like to see is a decent and supported way to mirror flathub and/or have offline installations.
That's what I'm running since yesterday. Bare-bones Debian (base system + Gnome shell) with all GUI apps installed from Flatpak.
I managed to get the workaround working, but it's nowhere near optimal to have to do that. I hope they'll fix it
What workaround specifically?
KeepAssXC and Firefox both being flatpaks but still talking to each other
Lololol KeepAss
