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.

Why have preinstalled apps though? Hear me out... i am very new to Linux and enjoying it quite much.
But most of the preinstalled programs that came with mint, i have not touched and never will.
To make it easier for people.
That does not make any sense if you read my comment. This is my point exactly. They are not saving me any time because i won't use matrix and i wouldn't have spent time installing it. . They may even be making it harder for me if i chose to uninstall it
Its a support room app. Xiaomi has forum apps built in for this reason.
