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 thought this was a hilarious post until I realized the title was truncated.
I thought it was going to be "I love my new Linux machine, but I've effectively lost access to the box and have to start over."
@dingus I had seen a video of a musician who ran manjaro but killed his system, so that scared me off manjaro haha wanted to try it originally but Ubuntu studio seemed safer
I love Linux, but it taught me to make backups
