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.

My mother is like that. Every now and then she asks me whether I'm skilled with Excel and how to do x thing in Excel. x is usually some pretty basic thing that I don't know how to do but I'm sure it is googlable. I wonder whether this is the norm for people who use a computer for work daily but aren't "tech guys".
