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.

Debian Trixie headless on my router/server raspberry pi and NixOs on my laptop.
However I'm planning to switch from Nix this summer since one of the maintainers of NixOs is the one which added age verification to systemd, still haven't decided on which Os I'll switch to probably Devuan os but may give Alpine a shot since it's more stable than Arch btw, so I'll just be ricing and distro hopping this summer until I pick my new favorite again.
