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.

Debian.
You know
apt, it will be familiar, but more raw for you to play with, and no snap.A fun activity would be to set up
dotfilesof your home directory, and then write a set of scripts to do all of the things you would typically do to set things up (software,gsettingspreferences, etc).Then, if you decide to change from Debian to something else based on Debian (sooo many distros) in the future, your scripts will work out of the box getting you set up in minutes.
