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.

From what did you install deb package, flatpak or snap.

deb

Are you sure the deb didn't quietly install a snap package? The last time I tried, it tried to wget a .snap from api.snapcraft.io.

Yeah, so did I. And after the deb finished installing, my firewall showed it wget a snap.
