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 like Kinoite, have been happy for a year or so (how time flies). Pretty bulletproof, automatic updates and rollbacks, lotsa good stuff. One minor but relevant gotcha is it doesn't like docker particularly much, I found the path of least resistance was to move to podman (which is more secure, can be easily turned into (--user) system.d units and has a cool auto update feature), podman-compose is your friend...
