I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.

  In contrast to btrfs it doesn’t break your data. Everyone learns the hard way not to use btrfs…

    Btrfs was the best filesystem I had used up until it corrupted my data.

    Not breaking your data, that is a pretty cool feature

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.
