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.

My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc.

Is it not stable?

Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

Exactly .... If all you're going to do is go online and maybe write a document once in a while ... a simple distro like Mint or PopOS will just work without issue.

This is odd phrasing. It sounds like you're saying mint and pop aren't capable of more. Same when people call them "good for newbs"n implying that more advanced users flock elsewhere.

It’s the enthusiast mindset.
