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.

The arch wiki wrote about linux-hardened. You can repeat what they say like a machine.
You cannot trust us doing researches for you.
i like to see questions like this when it's something i've never heard about (new to linux), and then come and read an eli5. it's an easy way for us noobs to collect information and there are always people who enjoy explaining this stuff.
Their words shows that they purely depend on people to quote information for them and they are not going to do researches.
