  • It’s all open source. You can merge them yourself. It is a massive technical challenge and pretty much impossible, it’d be like merging minecraft and fallout together.

    There are project leaders, Linus has the final say in what does and does not make it into the Linux kernel.




  • If you look up “how to make a bookmark” for example, you might find the tutorial for the right browser you’re using, or you might find one for chrome/firefox/edge, or you might find a tutorial on a real bookmark.

    Narrowing your search to the specific program you’re using will get you better results. “how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux” will not get you good results. Look up “… In Linux mint” or in your chosen desktop environment. You’ll get much better results.

And I support that potential.
