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.

10: But honestly, with an immutable distro you are not that far off 😀
Its nice that it doesnt pester you at all to reboot or threaten to do it for you though. I reboot maybe once a month to apply whatever updates came through since most of my stuff are flatpaks that get updated live anyway.
