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.

Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

The documentation. It needs more of it.

the distroIt's NixOS, the docs could be better, had a lot of confusion and had to watch a lot of tutorials when getting started, when I should've been able to just read the documentation instead.

Imagine NixOS with arch level's wiki.

I for one love the NixOS concept, but I can't phantom myself to learn it with such poor docs.

I love the concept so much that I even tried to replicate it with arch and ansible. No need to tell how that went. . .
