I’ll have to look into that. I’ve been daily driving Linux for maybe about 2 years now, and I’ve learned a bit and have messed around with it on and off for years, but I don’t know it. I’m at a point though where I know that there’s going to be a time where I need to know to feel secure in avoiding bullshit like this post, malicious packages, general good security practices and what not, so y’all may see quite a bit of questions from me. Thanks for the info

No worries, if you want you can “test” that via a virtual machine, even a container e.g. docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop/ and see what you would genuinely miss. It feels like our computer is very unique, very customized, but often it’s done in very few key places, e.g. browser profile data, ~/.bashrc , etc and once you locate those, transitioning to any other system is way easier.

Linux

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.
