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.

Back in the day, we used to have "post2host" forums, where you could get VPS servers for free just by being active in the forum. That's where I cut my teeth on Linux!
Without that, 10 years ago, I would not have my career today. I am thankful.
That sounds awesome! For me personally, when we were still in highschool, I got a VPS on netcup with two friends together. That was about 2 years ago. We're phasing it out and all of us now have our own infrastructure.
Once it is no longer available, we plan to build a nextcloud federation.
The most important thing is to just start!
