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.

I love tumbleweed and leap for my servers. I found out tumbleweed works on surface devices without having to use the surface kernel at all which was a big step I didn't like doing on my laptop. Since then I moved all my stuff to opensuse stuff to keep it consistent across all my systems.
