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.

Try this rawhide Fedora Kinoite image! I am so close to just switching as it just works?

Ooh, don't mind if I do. Luckily I happen to have a tame VMware cluster and rather a lot of laptops ("mwaaa, mwaaa, won't run Windows 11") to play with.

One of my employees has actually expressed an interest in Linux as a daily driver, which has only taken 23 years. I'm looking for my corp standard distro and I don't think Gentoo or Arch are going to do the job. I'm leaning towards Fedora at the moment but there's no rush, I only get one chance to bring the kids into the light, despite being the MD 8)

If it should be corporation stuff with central accounts and all I think GNOME is really good. Fedora GNOME could for sure be an option and I would recommend Silverblue from ublue.it in that case, as it has all the drivers and codecs
