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.

Thanks to everyone that tried to guide me.
Quick update: For some weird reason, it's not happening anymore. I ran a dnf update out of habit on it last night when we were going to bed, and completely neglected testing it. Today she suspended it to go out, and when she came back, it just woke up, entered her password, and both monitors were working.
May have been I updated the kernel, but I honestly don't remember if it even asked to restart to update,so,maybe it wasn't? I'm confused, but happy that she never even mentioned windows, so it seems like she's staying on this side of smart.
