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.

Thanks for the answer!
I don't know to what degree it's sensible to regard the following as a metric. However, it does help in putting things into perspective. My belief is that Vanilla OS is directly competing with the whole uBlue ecosystem, even if one is Debian-based and the other Fedora-based. As such, I am curious to know how the custom image ecosystem of Vanilla OS is. Like, does something like this exist for Vanilla OS? (FWIW, there was another website that made browsing through these a better experience. But, sadly, I couldn't find it.)
Well, there is Vib, and there are various custom images out there, but sadly i am not aware of any single website that list them. It's all in all a much smaller project than uBlue and in things like that it shows.
