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.

I like the focus of improving the little usability things and bug fixing in general. Especially cloning the "panel" is useful if you want try new configurations or widgets without ruining your current setup. And hopefully their drawing tablets widget finally supports Wayland, as this one of the major points they have on the post. At least on Plasma 6.2 this is still not the case.
