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.

Yes but again, Flathub Firefox has no process isolation with user namespaces. Something not easy to understand, but it simply removes a big security layer (between browser and processes, and between processes). It also adds the security layer between browser and OS, so not that easy.
Have a look at bubblejail, that is far away from plug and play poorly. But it allows to sandbox the browser like flatpak, but allow user namespace creation (a syscall) to also isolate processes.
Ublue is Fedora Atomic without legal restrictions or strange decisions.
But they also deleted their old website, so the only easily installable versions are Bluefin/Aurora (GNOME/KDE) and Bazzite. Which are also opinionated but I think in a good way.
good info thx!
