GNU/Linux refers to open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel and GNU software. Many GNU/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.

Why Use GNU/Linux?

Distributions

Most distros are at least somewhat similar with each other. The main differences are between the init system, package manager (and the repositories it has access to), desktop environment, default configurations and programs.
