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.

These guy cannot self-develop
They never learn thing themselves. Never read books. Never read manual pages.
Just ignore them.
Commits to softwares around Linux (userland, system maintenance tools, etc) usually just works (even if alpha). There are few bugs.
Alpine Linux edge+testing is much stable (my only issue come from testing mesa packages, just don't upgrade this package to any version without -r0 or -r1 or like that :) )
Yes.
A system that never have to su root (except for shutdown, reboot).
Cheers
