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 don't know how they do it because I'm too lazy to read source code, but dnf's conflict resolution algorithms are so crazily good it's scary. I have borked my Fedora installation beyond repair, or so I thought, then I chrooted and upgraded and had a fresh new good install with all my data intact.
