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 m stuck with Lubuntu for more than 10 years now, they do the job for me and I m good,
what I will always love about them is that I can customise them to be exactly how they functioned and looked the first time I used them and that's all I want from an OS, I don't want extremely drastic changes on my OS I don't get impressed much by that, but low usage of resources is enough, my mentality with computers is if it's not broken no reason to fix it
