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 agree with you that Linux can be frustrating, I said this in my above comment. I just don't think Linux is inherently more frustrating than Windows. I use Linux on my personal devices and servers, as well as servers at work. I also use Windows on my work laptop. I find using Windows to be a much more frustrating experience, but I know that is partially because I use Linux more often.
