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 use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
As someone who uses mwm for work, I only have one question for you: Why?
It's simple, easily customisable, and I like the big chiseled buttons.
"Motif Window Manager"? I'm on mobile and have old eyes, but it looks like WindowMaker. If so, great choice! If not, I'll have to look closer when I get home.
It really is mwm :) The toolchest-like menu in the upper left corner isn't part of mwm though.
