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.

This looks interesting. It's very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road

Yeah I learned the hard way, I ran updates on my Debian desktop and didn’t realize the kernel failed to rebuild due to a driver not supporting the latest kernel version, well to my surprise the day after when I went to turn my desktop on and it failed to boot, I couldn’t navigate Grub to get into another kernel version or recovery.

That sucked.
