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.

Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are
systemctl status
without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And thensystemctl list-units --failed
To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is "up and running" just by systemds status
Didn't know that. Thanks!
