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.

Snappy Snake features -
Everything is now a snap. Your kernel and initrd? They're snaps now (requires an updated grub with snap mounter. An /efi partition of less than 20GB is no longer supported). Apt is now a symlink to snap. Procfs and device nodes are all snaps. Instead of "perusing the legacy web2.0 internet with an html browser", the new Canonical Snapium snaps you into modern digital snap-eriences powered by the Snapchain. The Linux CLI has been replaced with Gnome's "Drag-n-snap Editor".
