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.

Not to sound like a shill or anything but that's what's great about monero. Its actually used on a daily basis as money because it wasn't designed to be an investment vessel. Unlike most crypto currencies monero is one a few if not the only crypto currency that could suffer from inflation as there is an unlimited supply however this works out in avarage uses favor as there's no scarcity based value which means there's less speculation trading leading to a more stable price. I'm not sure what the long term effects of having an unlimited supply of monero is but their justification is that it's a predictable fixed ammount added which will prevent hyper inflation.
Once again I'm not a crypto shill, I'm literally saying investing in crypto is a bad idea and to only use it for it's utility.
