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.

Nix(OS)'s biggest killer feature for me is that I never had to update, wait for updates or fix updates after setting up the modules properly and getting CI set up for my git repo -> all systems are build before the update is rolled out, if the build fails, the update won't be rolled out. Systems decide for themselves when to update and how they should handle them (i.e. server vs. desktop).
That goes for all my systems: Laptop, PC, Servers and VMs
