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.

If you want the cool new thing, it's Nix
I tried nix actually. Personally, I think it would make a great server os, but I do not enjoy it as a daily driver. I didn't like the fact that I was forced to install everything through nix and couldn't compile software from source.
Nix is a source code package manager and compiles everything from source, except when there's a binary substitute available.
And binary caching can even be disabled if you want a gentoo-like experience!
