Linux

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.

Hello all,

I would like to transition my GF to linux.

To make the switch easy I'll go for Ubuntu, but what would be the most windows-like desktop ?

Thank you!

Edit : thank you everyone, I'll go with Mint instead then 👍 Thanks for the help!

That's some good sense advice indeed, thank you.

I will think it through
