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'm been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.
Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.
Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you'll always boot into a reliable machine, it's the best.
