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.

Would also recommend Brodie Robertson. Some of his videos are just reading articles and not contributing much, but some are quite useful.

Also Brodie's podcast Tech Over Tea. I was on the podcast so I'm a bit biased, but he has a lot of open source developers from different projects on and they are always interesting.
