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.

Better drivers.
The last time I actually tried anything with Redhat I was trying to build a file server with RHEL v6.8 on a circa 2014 Dell. Absolutely zero support for the drive controllers. It felt like installing Linux in the mid-1990's. I gave up in frustration after two days and gave Ubuntu 16.04 LTS a try. As far as I know, that server's still chugging away with 98 terabytes of storage at that office.
