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.

Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.

Would absolutely love for Serif Labs to create a port for Affinity Photo and Designer. Of the programs I've tried, those two have the closest UX to Photoshop and Illustrator without the software-as-a-service model.

Hell, I'd even take it if all they did was support it working under WINE. While I would prefer a seamless UI that fits in with both GTK and Qt, it's understandable that they might not consider it worth the effort.
