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 have two machines for different purposes - the desktop is the one that other people use that I'm not allowed to break, so that one just dual boots Pop!OS and Windows 10.
The laptop is my own tinkering machine, so that one is Arch and KDE, perpetually in various states of disarray.
