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.

And a lot of configuration, or so I thought? I'm investing heavily but I'm scared for my investments :-)
Another Linux noob here, after a couple of Linux servers (Tenfingers, Lemmy) switched over (finally) my main PC, or well kids got the gaming machine and I'm on a Mint ThinkPad now :-) and a backup think centre tiny if the Lemmy server bails out.
I have this little windows box to print stuff (I didn't know I hated printers) and every time I use it I'm so happy I don't need windows in my personal life anymore...
Cheers and welcome OP!
This comment isn't making any sense to me, but good on ya?
Except that I'm jumping ship to Linux fully, I'm thinking a lot about hardware failure, not the data but say the mobo, so maybe that's curious. Seemed you were knowledgeable about those things, or I'm explaining very badly.
Cheers
