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.

Do the version numbers for proton imply anything serious? Or is it like the kernel version numbers. I never quite understand, they seem to be really active, but maybe having Ubuntu style numbers would make more sense here?

It implies that it's based on WINE 9.0 and its feature/bug set.

Fair enough. I mistyped, I meant to ask about wine versions!
