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.

Also, I only need 1 logon screen in total

Never quite understood this complaint tbh. I use Windows at work and I find the blanked out screens look weirder than just having the login screen everywhere

It's just slightly confusing because (1) I don't know what screen the cursor is on, and (2) since they're out of order, trying to use a specific one is a little confusing.
