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.

You can use inspec to apply declarative rules against your machine and look for deviations (but I don't think you want to be writing rules to check for system sanity). I'd say go even crazier, run Qubes, then run VMs of many different linuxs, and you can break them at will, resurrect them, etc.

Oh lord that is over my head. I tried messing around with that more advanced stuff but just got lost
You might want to start with something very friendly like checkmk, I'm sure there is a open source alternative to it, but I don't know it off the top of my head.

Full Disclosure, I've never used this, but it seems friendly enough
Sorta looks similar to netdata which I recently setup and holy crap is it confusing. I have no idea what to look at and what to do. Didn't realize its that tricky for a newb.
