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.

One thing I really miss in adwaita is readline/emacs-style text navigation shortcuts everywhere.

Could the work on the global shortcut portal somehow help with that? Or is this already fully doable by way of extensions?

It is nice to see improvements to the file chooser, but why do buttons look so different from all other buttons in Gnome? What was wrong with the less rounded buttons?
