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 think you need to learn how to reply to a comment not to the entire thread, my man.

Have you had any dealings with the FSF? “Forcing users” is standard operating procedure.
All distros make choices for their users. In fact, what applications are available in what repositories via what methods is practically the defining feature of a distribution. That in itself is not what bugs me about Ubuntu. It is the choices they make that bug me. That is why I do not use Ubuntu.

Question: Is this going to also apply to Linux Mint and other Ubuntu/Debian cousin distros?
Not Debian. But mint needs to patch this out manually

You could install the flatpak version...
There isn't one for arm64. And even if there were, I couldn't make it use my widevine installation.
Already started my EndeavourOS vm last night. :)
I use Linux in all my machines, currently: LMDE, Debian, Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora and Linux Mint. Yeah, I just realized I stopped using Ubuntu a couple of years ago.
