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 actually great since it forces you to learn which saves you much more time in the long run.

But most people can't see past their nose.

Edit

Can't believe somebody got offended by this...

couldve stopped at the first sentence, but had to keep with the stereotype i guess ;)

It is great when you have time to learn, but when you are trying to troubleshoot while understand basically nothing of the wiki ... it is not good.

Most people want a functional OS, they don't care about the benefits of NetworkManager over its competition. Figuring out every possible configuration setting and finding the right combination to get everything working as intended takes forever.

Some people are into that, and power to them, but most people aren't.
