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’ve never used either evilwm or conky. I just know where to look (the wikis!) for good instructions. 🤓
If you have any issues with setting up software, the Archlinux wiki and the Gentoo wikis are very high quality. You may have slight changes you need to make for your system (like you use the apt package manager while Arch and Gentoo use pacman and portage) but the configuration, tips and troubleshooting sections are pretty universal.
