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 don’t have a normal desktop flow, most of the time I’m just rdp’ing to Linux from other different machines/tablets. I used to have a native Ubuntu install with a lot of dockers and my programming job. Now I have a vm for the dockers, and a vm for work. But I’ve notice that I still like to distrohop and I’m continuously just downloading new distros to test. Just the vm is more convenient, and after some time you forgot they are virtual because everything works.
