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 use openSuse. With Tumblweed you even get a a rolling distro that does not require any terminal use.

Opensuse more like opensus

Seriously though wasn't suse the one you aren't suppost use in the enterprise due to security issues?

I did not hear about that yet and a quick DDgo didn’t gave me results.. Where did you hear that, or do you know more? Call me interested 😇

I honestly don't quite remember. I heard it from someone who was doing government work at the time. I think it had to do with security issues with rancher.

I guess that is old news.. There has happened a lot since then, I guess.

You can. Most things have gui options.

But you quickly learn for somethings. The terminal is just easier.

If you ignore odd stuff. Most everyday stuff to maintain the system is available in a controlled panal like program. It varies based on distribution and windows manager. But the basic setup is there for most things.

Its when you want to do something creative it gets more complex. While most commands have gui apps. Most online guidance will just find the terminal an easy way to guide you.

...well... that is how I started learning (and getting used to) GNU/Linux, so eh.
