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.

For personal use? Bazzite because it’s easy and stable. I have enough stuff breaking at work already…
So fucking true. Once you get more than a hundred systems or so it feels like something new to resolve every day. Especially when your work let's people with no idea what they are doing have root on "their" servers.
I have dealt with issues ranging from someone uninstalling subscription manager (RHEL) and then clearing the package cache to people replacing chronyd with ntpd for.. Reasons? I guess?
I have thought about using bazzite but I prefer debian based as well as using more general purposed distros. So I am just on basic debian.
