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.

This along with other things is another reason why i will continue to recommend noobs start with pop os and more advanced users to use bazzite.
I do wish pop os would change their name to cosmic os though. Their current name is too close to poop os 😅
CosmOS?
That's fantastic! Obviously no one will ever use it.
or something more cheerful like GladOS
Don't forget the random punctuation mixed in. It's like the title of a kids' tv show.
never thought of "poop os" but I think Pop!_OS is a stupid name, it's the only reason I avoided it and chose Nobara instead lol
