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.

What about Elisa? I was under the (potentially mistaken) assumption that Elisa was the successor of Amarok.
Elisa is just the latest (and most actively developed) addition to the long list of music players developed under the KDE umbrella.
I guess Strawberry or Clementine are the real successors.
Clementine ia also semi-abandoned. Which is why Strawberry was forked to begin with. Clementine has an rc branch that sees some infrequent work from one guy (last in Oct 2023) but Strawberry is actively developed (including support for Qt6).
Si, correcto. Strawberry is solid.
Sí*
Elisa wasn't really meant to be an Amarok successor, it just kinda turned out that way because Elisa popped up around the time of the Plasma 5 release while Amarok never made the Qt5 transition. There were other reasons for Amarok's death (before its recent revival), though Elisa could be considered a factor.
