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.

Nice! I had one class where we had modelling and the teacher literally used some form of openSUSE Leap with XFCE (looked horrendous).
And they had a Virtualbox machine image, as that was most common to install, and everyone had Windows.
She used zsh and had a really strange program that was all over the place, I was not able to get it running on Fedora Kinoite, and still have no idea why.
That was crazy.
In the other classes, Windows everywhere and quite some windows only software. While we actually had Nextcloud and OnlyOffice but nobody uses it!
