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.

It depends on your goals with linux.

If your goals are on devops, you may find a good idea learn about docker, ansible and other tools to make your life easier. If you're a home user, maybe it's a good idea try flatpaks, for example. And there is much more, but you need to define your goals.
