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.

This is a great response and I appreciate it a lot. I'm saving it for later!
No problem. Happy New Year. Also it is .org i mistakenly put .com for the opensuse software site. ( I will edit post) Also I should mention if you dont see an officially supported rpm on the software site, it does not mean it isn't there, it now seems to mean it is in the main repos. I think years back they would all show, but maybe due to shared binaries with SUSE they don't bother listing on the https://software.opensuse.org site. So best to check locally in the YAST or Zypper search of your repos first.
Thanks again! And a happy new year to you too
