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.

Interestingly, when I added the bind mount to /usr the init environment failed when trying to set up the actual root fs because it was trying to bind mount from the init ramdisk filesystem paths into the new root path. im sure I could cloodge together a script to patch things up in the initrd but my days of straying from a sane upgrade path on Ubuntu are over (now I just do that on nixos because I don't know what I'm doing)
