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.

Thanks for your comment! I am going to try stable for a while and see how it goes... worst case I can switch to a different distro.
if stable gets too stale (heh) for you, you can always move to sid
this is where im at. installed stable a few weeks ago while its relatively fresh. ready to upgrade to sid if i ever need more than flatpak
