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.

Note for the folks using Wayland, there's also ydotool that doesn't require X11: https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool
But it does not work well at all, especially when you try to get the mouse cursor to a certain coordinate. The same coordinate gets different results every boot for some reason.
You also have to run a background service for it to work.
