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.

The system packages don't adapt to your hardware. If you take your os drive out and stick it in another computer, you won't need to mess around making sure the CPU works properly. Unless you added more repositories, all your updates are coming from the same place, to trust any is to trust all.
an exception to that is the initramfs that the bootloader uses. its creator adapts it to your system so that it can be smaller.
