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 actually get frustrated when I don't know how to do something and will spend the time to figure it out... So I may not be well versed in all those points, but I have at least some skill and knowledge in each section.
We don't all have the same 24 hours, but we should all have the same ability to at least refer to and/or seek out information to get us some understanding of what we're doing, and yet, here I am in 2025 working with people who are 30+ years old asking me "what's the Start button?"
And here I am at 58 years old still having to fix millennial and zoomers issues.
Doesn't mean all millennials or zoomers are technically illiterate. Means that they had to focus on other things to live in their lives.
