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.

I used Ubuntu for a long time, because it was easy to use and I wasn't really a power user on linux (was just using it on a cheap laptop for classes a long time ago). When I built a server for myself recently, I didn't really explore distros and plopped Ubuntu on it.
More recently, I got a new laptop and ended up installing Fedora on it. So far, I like Fedora a lot. I know there's probably a better distro out there for me, but this one worked without fiddling and I'm liking it a lot more than Ubuntu. Ubuntu snaps kinda screwed my server for a year or so. I need to replace Ubuntu on that soon, I'm just not looking forward to dealing with that so it silently stays Ubuntu.
