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.

Thanks and thanks for all the hardwork on universal blue.
Didn't know what uBlue was, so here: https://universal-blue.org/
"The Universal Blue project builds a diverse set of continuously delivered operating system images using bootc. That's nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.
These images represent what's possible when a community focuses on sharing best practices via automation and collaboration. One common language between dev and ops, and it's finally come to the desktop.
We also provide tools for users to build their own image using our templates and processes, which can be used to ship custom configurations to all of your machines, or finally make the Linux distribution you've long wished for, but never had the tools to create.
At long last, we've ascended."
Ublue Is the base of the better known Bazzite distro, I use it on my desktop, and Aurora on my laptop.
Basically nixOS but useful.
You can make custom images of this with some software called BlueBuild. I base mine off of the SecureBlue project then tweak it for my needs
I don't know the reasoning, but since the uBlue main image is meant to be a sort of base template (iirc), my guess is there was a decision to downstream all of those additions, to allow child distributions to improve the build process and make their own opinionated changes.
You might try asking on the uBlue discord.
That's long overdue. Many removed it in favor of flatpaks. There were still some minor issues with flatpak. I guess those are resolved now
I wish they would. I didn't switch to Linux to not have control over my PC.
