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.

for tracking dotfiles and used to use a fancy Ansible setup. Now, I just occasionally backup a list of explicitly installed packages and track the major changes made to the system in a simple Markdown file.@andybug
I've been working on using Guix. Theoretically, I love the idea, but there's definitely some learning curve.
