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 don't mind using a terminal so much, but trying to follow people's terminal instructions can be quite challenging. It seems like 90% of the time they leave out critical details because they assume you'd already know what you're doing or you get errors because they have packages installed that you don't. It reminds me of this gem from Malcolm in the Middle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0
