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.

On linux you just put the ovpn into the settings. VPN connections are built into the system
Yes, I have used systems that broke. Yes I followed bad advice and broke my system. Ever since not touching my system, that didn't happen again. If I would touch windows, I would brik windows as well.
Yeah that's another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.
With an atomic system it's less likely to brick your system. You can stay in the debian world with vanillaos (I've never used it) but fedora atomic is very good. On a day to day basis you shouldn't have/use admin rights to break your system
