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.

When the PC is connected to a Beamer you can only See at might, and when its night you dont have 10 minutes + reboot time because your friend wants to watch netflix, even having to update once in a decade is too many updates
What did you end up with then? Just curious. Every Linux distros or even any system at this point suffers that problem.
Went with void for my 4 core 1,5 ghz thin client and opensuse leap for the home theater pc
Both are pretty much set and forget.
