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.

Screen sharing in video conferencing software (bbb, webex, meetme etc). It just doesn't work consistently. Sometimes (rarely) it just works as expected. Sometimes everybody sees a "black screen with a mouse pointer". Sometimes your screenshare is tiny and squeezed into a quarter of the virtual screen. Sometimes it's enlarged instead and doesn't fit into the virtual screen. Sometimes the popup (Wayland recording bridge???) doesn't show up. It's russian roulette basically, this shit definitely needs more eyeballs.
