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.

I have one minor complaint based on that screenshot: "Installed size 44,6 MB" does not have the same meaning as "After this operation, 44,6 MB of additional disk space will be used."
It's okay to have it use fewer words, but it should not be at the expense of accuracy.
Agreed.
Maybe it could be "Installed size +44.6MB" to clarify without taking too much space.
