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.

Fedora on an old laptop, piOS on a pi2 and Ubuntu on my newer laptop although I'm planning to change it to Fedora too..after 12 years of Ubuntu and 4 release upgrades in a row my system seems kinda broken and my apt is definetly broken with many sources.list entries that didn't upgrade well.. I don't like having dozens of loopback entries when I do a fdisk command ..it's annoying and looks like it's because of snaps ..also I get every day to update something in snap store but it fails every single time ...so maybe I'll go by Fedora next..Planning to use the new Debian Bookworm to set a server with this old desktop I getting from a friend to self host some services
