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 mean tools like
apt,yum,dnf,emerge, andpacman, the things you use to install additional software packages onto your system.It sounds like you're on the right track. There are differences in how you need to think about Linux administration, but once you get your head around that and some shell familiarity you should be set.
I can offer some assistance on the docker part; look me up on IRC if interested - irc.libera.chat #gentoo-chat (Aussie time though)
i didnt use irc before but i hav a matrix account. nonetheless i ll look up how to reach u through this. and thank you for being easy on me for my linux takes: if linux is to be mass adopted, new comers need to be handled this way, and not to be shamed for their lack of knowledge.
