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.

Is there an overview of what differentiates all those Fedora Atomic derivates?
Fedora Atomic variants just differ in the desktop environments.
You can see Universal Blue stuff here: https://universal-blue.org/. But in short, Bazzite is for gaming and the others are for regular desktop uses. All have a “batteries-included” attitude. There’s also some images meant for servers.
Yeah, there's the KDE version, the Gnome version, the Sway version, the Budgie version and the Cosmic version.
There's also uCore as a server OS, but I haven't looked into that very much.
It's mostly about what software is preconfigured. I've run Bazzite for a while and it's been great. Bluefin has been nice too but admittedly it's a pretty run-of-the-mill OS.
