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.

First distro was Ubuntu 8.04. Switched around to windows, and back, Mac OS and back, and distro hopped in between. But for the last 8 years I’ve been back on Ubuntu. Currently 22.04 on my server and 24.04 on my laptop and desktop. I usually run one LTS behind on the server, and wait for latest point release on my personal machines.
Ive kind of stopped caring about the ideology a little bit. And Ubuntu just works for me.
