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.

Just as the title says, posting this here because I reference this all the time (maybe one day I will remember it).

I know Snaps and Ubuntu get a bit of hate in the Linux community, but hopefully this is helpful to someone. I'm not familiar with any of the reasons people don't like Snaps (I never use them unless its the only option, so my experience is limited), however for Firefox I can't use the snap package due to limitations with editing configuration files for startpages.
