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 if I make some server-like setup with multiple drives, I’d go with some kind of raid with redundancy instead of just stitching the drives together (or mb yolo and raid 0).

Server setups are usually virtual machines nowadays, with virtual disks (i.e. vmdk or qcow2 files in a storage pool). Stitching virtual disks together is valid in this case because redundancy is handled on another level, invisible to the vm.
