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.

Yes, but first go check which list you want to use since they're a good starting point to understand a kind of level of tolerance and expectations around your experience.
There's lots of lists around here's a small sample:

Be prepared for a bump in time outs as you work through things you might need (I blocked by accident a bunch of needed Microsoft services that I need to use during my job).
I haven't edited my white list in months, maybe over a year. It's going very well. I've been running pihole on ubuntu for more than 5 years as two virtual machines. I'm happy.
