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.

I wish I could get a System76 PC. They're a bit pricey and I like the spec and build my own. Their cases are really nice, so one day I may just buy the case. I use POP OS on my builds and it is really nice. I'm excited to see the Cosmic DE get a full releas
there are cheaper alternatives; tuxedo and kfocus immediately come to mind.
