Distro

Definitions

Short for distribution, usually referring to a packaged operating system built around a shared software base, especially in the Linux world. A distro bundles a kernel, package manager, defaults, release policy, and community conventions into a coherent system.
In plain English: A packaged version of an operating system with its own defaults and software choices.
Example: "The app ran fine on Ubuntu but needed packaging work before it fit that distro’s release rules."
