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.

Another big part is learning how to set it up in a way that it's functional and productive the first time and then STOP FUCKING WITH IT.
That also sounds like a good way to stop learning!
Not quite. But sorta, yeah.
Learning to "not fuck with it" or ways to do so and rollback are valid lessons themselves.
Being able to segregate "production" and "development" environments is very valuable.
you can either have a system to learn on, or a stable system to work on.
I get mine set up how I want then create an HD image that I run in a VM for fucking with.
😂 My gosh this hits home. If only I could stop tweaking. It's always just this one little thing. Then another and on until it's so fucked I don't even know where to begin. But it's magical when she works.
