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.

Which areas of Linux would benefit most from further standardization? (lemm.ee)

The diversity of Linux distributions is one of its strengths, but it can also be challenging for app and game development. Where do we need more standards? For example, package management, graphics APIs, or other aspects of the ecosystem? Would such increased standards encourage broader adoption of the Linux ecosystem by developers?

Register app for Internet access

In my Opinion there should be a way that Applications could register their Internet access.

- Every Application has to register their Domains or IPs it wish to use
- Apps like Nextcloud-Client could triger a Sytem Dialog to enter new Addresses on first connect
- Apps like a Browser get their own "Browser" Profile
- Apps that do not register their Connection get an auto-attached Browserprofile on the first connect to Internet.
