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.

Yeah… I’m actually thinking of switching to Debian. Fedora’s very nice, but the licensing idiosyncrasies and linkages to RedHat kinda annoy me.
Also: I admit I’m lazy, and the Debian-flavored community is somewhat more pervasive and a tad easier to look things up for, simply because Ububtu is Debian flavored, and Ubuntu is one of the more prevalent distros (even if it is kinda “easy mode”).
I moved from Debian mainly because I kept breaking apt somehow. But I ~~was~~ saw people recommending it for desktop use, so maybe it got improved.
Edit: typo
Yeah this’d mainly be for my personal dev laptop. I’ve got a spare machine I might throw it on to test drive for a bit before I commit to migrating my system again, since I just did that for F40 (upgraded from Ubuntu LTS - again, lazy, but I did get fed up with snaps which is what led me to switch to fedora in the first place)
