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 never thought about it before but I use upstream and downstream without much though. For my personal devices and containers I use Fedora but when it comes to servers and VMs I use Debian for its stable nature.

I also run Linux mint in my homelab with pcie pass though so it functions like a normal desktop.

No, though it is weird that you feel like you should ask such nonsensical questions in public forums.

Nah, it’s pretty weird that you enjoy being mean on public forums. If you want to criticize then do so, don’t be an ass about it.
