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.

Ooh, I really like this wallpaper!
Word. Unfortunately I cannot like Ubuntu for all of canonicals decisions, but there's no doubt they have designed the most iconic Linux DE there is.
So much so that if someone who doesn't use Linux thinks of Linux, they imagine Ubuntu.
I still miss unity sometimes. The unified menu and the HUD/dash design, so well thought out
I haven’t been a Ubuntu guy in a long time, but Canonical consistently designs the best wallpapers for their releases.
