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.

There is one thing that makes gitlab 100x better than GitHub, and that is that gitlab is developed on gitlab. You can open an issue on the repository and it is picked up like any other issue. No such thing like a GitHub/GitHub repository. I have no clue where to go when something is not to my liking there
