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.

@unix_joe I've got one machine that's been on Ubuntu for close to 10 years, and another that's been on arch for almost as long. Thinking about trying Debian's new release to replace Ubuntu.
Yeah, I took my kids off Ubuntu because the snaps were killing update times, and gave them pure Debian earlier this year. With dash to dock extension, I set it up to look just like the Ubuntu they knew, and it's been fine.
