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.

ps, top, and kill along with GIMP aren't good enough?

I do like the pretty charts though so I can see how close my GPU is to melting.

GIMP is great but sometimes you don’t need a woodworking shop, you need a butter knife.

GIMP is way too complicated for what MS Paint gets used for, I'd easily argue it's harder to use than Photoshop.

Paint Dot Net is a happy medium but that's also Windows only IIRC
