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.

It made me lazy since they got everything to work out of the box. Lol
This. People always go "It looks like MacOS" but to me esp the icons just look like outdated Linux Mint/Cinnamon from 15 years ago. If people like ot that's cool, it's just not for me.
