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.

This said it all perfectly. Think I'll check out more of his videos.

You should. He's done very entertaining stuff around Raspberry Pis and other fun projects.

If you like raspberry pis, SBCs, or Linux you're in for a decent time. Although he did get a bit of flack for his Eben Upton interview. Though I felta lot of that was overblown.
