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.

Not the same person but a lot of the GUI things are going to be more of the same and won't really capture the Linux "vibe". If you want to get more nerdy about it I would recommend checking out something like the cmus music player. It's terminal based and if you can get the hang of it, it will give you more of a feel for what people love about Linux. After you get it installed you can try running these commands from the command line to get started:
man cmus-tutiorial&man cmus.Thank you!
