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.

Psa: the reason Microsoft makes these tools linux friendly is because the know thats where the developers are at and they want them to stay familiar with their tools.
It also lowers the amount of fuss developers make when work forced them to use powershell etc because at least they can remote control and script from linux.
As long as they are free and open source, I don't care.
