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.

First time I hear of it, always give the same kind of thoughts :
- damn, yet another distribution, is this really necessary?
- maybe I need it, probably not, how does it actually work?
- actually I should make my own distribution at some point, how hard can it be? What would I learn from doing it?
... then I move on to my day.
solus has been around for quite a long time, even if you haven't heard of it
First time I hear of it
Hmmm... I wonder if literally the first words of my post could have been a hint. /s
Also FWIW I'm using Debian (1993) so relatively speaking, it (2015) is quite new.
It’s actually a pretty fantastic distribution and soothes my FreeBSD-based snobby notions of a clean, organized OS.
No doubt, apparently seeing the downvotes I came across as negative about the distribution. It wasn't my point, just sharing my perspective. Thanks for clarifying what makes it actually interesting to you!
