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.

BTW, nixos allows you to easily roll back to a previous generation on boot in case an update breaks something.
Just sayin' 😁
So does Fedora Silverblue for the record.
It is a damn impressive feature to realize you just broke your install and are able to say “no problem”.
Silverblue gang!
Si does tumbleweed, two-clicks rollback from the GRUB menu
