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.

Definitely, besides playing around with it and booting it on random Laptops, I revived two notebooks on the go. One had a broken windows install(somehow the main C drive nuked itself into 8 separate partitions) and she was still running Linux 1 month after that so I guess a win, and the other windows “Laptop” was super laggy(3-4 Gib of ram), but I granted the machine another two solid years(one time laptop run out of power during an big update, rest was great).
