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.

Huge shootout to the Distrobox devs, you saved my day :)
I brew beer as a hobby. I've been using Joliebulle 3 for close to 10 years because it's FOSS and super simple to use, and I'm too lazy to switch to another brewing app. It's been unmaintained for almost 5 years, but it wonderfully does exactly what I want from a brewing software. I was missing this crucial "piece of equipment" since I migrated to Fedora.
Brew day is tomorrow. I forgot to look into it until it was almost too late.
I had a quick look at the PKGSRC on AUR. It uses QtWebKit which is the biggest stumbling block, given that most or perhaps even all distributions killed that for security reasons. I recently found out that an "AI and automation" company forked and revived QtWebKit, so there is a tiny chance distros will package it again but don't hold your breath. There was a promising fork once and I'd guess there will be an attitude by packagers that they've fallen for a fork before and that never got off the ground.
