Upstream images vs bazzite: https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream_with_bazzite.svg

My prediction: bazzite may have more installs than Fedora KDE by the end of the year.

It’s literally just picking which snapshot you want to boot in the boot loader and then accepting the prompt to make that one the new default after you’ve verified it works. It’s not possible for old binaries to be running.

I’m talking about when you update the system. Unless you reboot to do the update, the system can be using outdated binaries until you reboot. Apt will tell you about them, but I don’t know about other package managers.

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.
