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.

Yeah that's my feeling on it too. I think an immutable OS would be great for something like an office, where you can have everyone on the exact same setup that's way harder for non-techie people to break, and presumably if something does go wrong then the fix will work for everyone.
But yeah I'm too much of a tinkerer to use one on my personal machine.
