    I wouldn’t call compiling from source the average experience these days.

    Most software is gonna be in the distro repositories or as a flatpak/snap/appimage.

      This time I’m trying to use Linux without relying on Flatpak or AppImage, why? I don’t know XD

        Or your distros repositories? I just think OP calling this “average” sends a bad message - I didn’t compile much stuff from source in 2007, and I don’t now either.

      AUR.

      But most programs compile within 2 minutes on my shitty laptop anyway. And it’s automated.

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.
