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.

New linux user goes online to find out how to list installed packages in the terminal. Starts removing the ones they don't recognise.
Yeah that was me a bunch of years ago, thinking I'd cut the unnecessary dependencies from my system.
I learned they were not so unnecessary.
